Re: smtp.gmail server CHANGES From & Reply headers! PS To OZO: Thanks for that info. I have been tempted to run my own mail server at different times over the years, but now is not a particularly good time (at least not until after the election). I *do* prefer it be a choice and option, and not a necessity! 
I will check out the one you suggested for future use. I used Pegasus Mail (by David Harris) from circa 1993 until 6 months ago when I switched to Thunderbird, and David also wrote Mercury, so that's why I was going to give that one a try. (Also free.) But you've made hMailServer sound good. Thanks again. |

| Thanks OZO.
A quick note here.... don't mean to throw a fly in the ointment, but when I conf'g my client with the smtp.dslextreme.com server, it worked without authentication. Which brought the caveat to mind. Unless it only asks for authentication on non-local requests? For some reason I assumed it would be one way or the other... that it would ask for authentication regardless, and serve both local and outside calls, or that it would never ask for authentication, and only serve local requests. IAC I added my username/passwd for good measure, hoping it will work when I'm not local. |

From within the network, I get:
2008-10-18 07:57:02 SMTP fail (HELO error! SMTP server: 66.51.205.17)
Manually it works. Automated from the router fails (above example)
Is it my router mail attempt at fault? |
