Hi there,

Yes I believe that's the problem. Usually most mailclients only sen logon 
credentials to the mailbox, and not the smtpserver, even if they are onm the 
same machine. So, like in Outlook where you specify logon details separately 
for 'outgoing mailserver, you need the same in the Netscape client. If you 
can't find such a setting I don't think it's gonna work...

HTH,
Örjan
