I'm not sure I follow. If the ISP doesn't allow outbound TCP on port 25 except from their own mail servers, how does authenticated SMTP help? For example, my ISP is ISP A. If I'm on ISP B's network, and try to send mail over TCP port 25 to my ISP's mail server (ISP A), ISP B blocks outbound port 25 because it's not coming from their mail servers. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Greenberg Sent: 12 January 2004 5:30 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OT: Scripted Change of Outlook Account Configuration A simpler way, if available, is to request an authenticated SMTP server from your ISP. This way you can access the SMTP server of your own ISP account from anywhere. Regards, Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Because most ISP's only allow SMTP relaying from addresses inside their networks, I am constantly reconfiguring my SMTP server settings for 3 accounts in Outlook 2002. Does anyone know of a (free) way to easily change the SMTP server settings for my Outlook accounts? I've looked around quite a bit for a VBScript (which is what I would prefer), to no avail. I thought the Office 2003 Reskit Profile Wizard would do it, but it doesn't capture these settings (http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/three/ch10/OutE03.htm). I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but I'm not seeing it. Any ideas would be greatly apprecicated. Thanks, Jeff Durbin
