The "ERR: "auth" unknown command" is caused by older versions of Micros**t Internet Mail. Someone thought 'auth' was a POP command over there at Microsoft.. *shrug* The "-ERR POP EOF" messages are caused by Netscape Mail when it checks for mail and there is none waiting. I guess Netscape Mail says "FINE" and hangs up quite prematurely/rudely ;) Micros**t fixed their boo-boo in the newest version of Internet Mail.. Netscape hasn't in 3.01 Release :( Travis -- -=--==--===---====----======------=======------- TerraNovaNet Internet Services - Key Largo, FL Voice: (305)453-4011 Fax: (305)451-5991 http://www.TerraNova.net -------=======------======----====---===--==--=- Always remember that you are unique.
