Hello all,
I'm struggling with a program specific problem relating to email client Eudora 6.2.3 on OSX 10.3...Here's an outline...
I travel a lot. When all there was dial-up I had a roaming dial-up service and everything was good. But now, with ADSL more readily available I'm hitting the frequent problem of being unable to send email. If I can get the local SMTP server address, I'm fine - but often people don't know their SMTP server address or they even insist that there isn't one - and I'm scuppered - unable to send email but receiving it fine.
My roaming dial-up service has an SMTP relay address, but this doesn't work over ADSL.
I know that anybody using Outlook or Mac.Com doesn't suffer the same problem and it's beginning to look like the only sure way of getting rid of this problem is to give up the Eudora client.
There are global SMTP relay services out there, but one of them expects me to configure a new personality to use when I need it. I know from experience that an alternate personality is a pain - I just want to applescript a settings change according to location...
So the question is, can I overcome this problem? Is this settings more than SMTP address? Is it possible to sniff the SMTP address via the web? Can life be made more simple?
Let me know your thoughts and opinions, please.
Tim
