Just in case I disappear suddenly...

[graculus]

I keep getting emails from my ISP demanding that I do something called 'SMTP Authentication' in order that I can continue to send email through their server - apparently it's some new scheme to reduce the amount of spam - so if I discover that I can't send stuff to people I'll be looking for a new ISP post haste.

Why? Because the only email programs they give you instructions for on how to make this happen are Windoze ones and I use Pegasus - the help site makes a bland statement about other programs not being supported and that's it. Suddenly I have a whole new understanding for the plight of Mac users. ;)

"We don't support that" does NOT mean other programs don't do it. It means "We don't want to learn other programs because we are lazy and want to inconvenience you. If you know more than we do, by all means, go right ahead."

Apparently so.

That does not negate my previous comment about BT sucking... ;)

But of course not! ;)

Well, I've done what I *think* they want me to do (the newer version had 3 possibilities and the one I've chosen seems to be working, so we'll see...).

Meanwhile, the suck! ;)

Yes, it's a good thing their users are more competant than they are. ;)
