[ILUG] MS Exchange & Linux...

[Jakma, Paul]

great isn't it!!!

next question, how do you get netscape to use an outgoing smtp server. I've
filled it in in preferences, but if it barfs on usernames when i try to send
a mail. 

if i leave the username blank, it complains, and if i fill in a rubbish
username it asks for a password when i send mail..

answers on a postcard please.
