AOL Question: What's the outgoing mail server?

Barking at the moon.
I've searched the AOL site but couldn't find anything, does anyone know the smtp mail server for AOL? Thanks!!
 
As far as I know, there is none. AOL relegates you to either using their proprietary software (which actually isn't TOO bad lately, compared to classic versions... but still bad), or accessing your email via the web at http://www.aol.com

Sorry, no dice. Though I'd LOVE for someone to prove me wrong.

EDIT: Whoa, are you implying that you have a working INCOMING address, already? If so, what is it?
 
Yeah, mail.mac.com works fine for getting my .Mac mail. However when I try to send a message I'm told that my password is incorrect no matter what I type in. I've looked through the .Mac help discussions and apparantly AOL blocks other outgoing mail besides their own (if they even have one).
 
So, themacko, you're on AOL dialup? You're probably stuck, you must use AOLs mail setup. But if you are using AOL on broadband of some kind, shouldn't be any limitation there! As long as you don't use the AOL proprietary software for mail other than AOL mail (you can't change the mail server settings in AOL mail.
