    Silly me, just looked at the configuration in windoze. Sure enough, you
don't log on to the SMTP servers, only the POP3 ones. I *thought* I hadn't
seen any provision for it in sendmail. So clearly that wouldn't be the
solution to the config probs, as user/passwd isn't required anyway.
    So please give help for the host/domain problem, if you know about it.
Thanks, Tomble "/
