Yeah, my server allows posting from SMTP, and I've looked deeper in
the the problem, and I have found what was causing the problem with
SMTP. When you use that option for "login for outgoing email" it uses
MS's NTLM authentication which isn't the most open or friendly
authentication mechanism for SMTP.

I'm working on a workaround right now, but I am also looking on
getting the phone setup with cingular's smtp server. Do they have any
requirements for sending out email over their SMTP servers?

Thanks
