Linux+Seamonkey+Sympatico Problem

Thanks Madi. We did try that as my post mentioned.
smtp1 requires non-SSL connections. We tried that. How are you getting it to 
work?

At first we tried the "right" params...
Outgoing server name: smtp1.sympatico.ca
Use username and password authentication: yes
Use SSL: no

Then we tried all other combinations and nothing doing. I actually live in 
Toronto and my friend is in Quebec so after many nights of helping her over 
the phone I have all of the Seamonkey and Outlook setup dialog boxes 
imprinted in my brain :-)

For me it has to be one of the following reasons:
a) Outlook communicates in some way that is not standard SMTP protocol and 
that sympatico takes advantage of that.
b) There is a difference between Outlook's implementation of SSL and others 
that sympatico relies on.
c) The GCCP (i.e. the global consortium of conspiracy practitioners) is at 
it again.

An idea I had was to see if I could find a mail client that lets one change 
the agent header.
then try to masquerade as Outlook and see what happens...

thanks & cheers.
