Outlook 2003 works just fine with my mail server. However, I haven't been able to get Outlook 2002 to work properly. Outlook Express also works fine for me. My (quite popular) page about running both sendmail and imap-uw with SSL/TLS and authentication can be found here: <http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html>. The page states that one of the goals of the described mail setup is compatibility with Microsoft e-mail clients. Thanks, Josh -- Josh Tolbert hemi@puresimplicity.net || http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/ Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
