[Marc Antony Vose]

Hi Russ:

No, actually this is a dedicated server.  The host is 'shared' in 
that we have three virtual domains on it...maybe they are not all set 
up properly or something.

I did the setup myself via cpanel, and haven't really p[layed outside 
that sandbox.

Thanks for the response.  I'll try PHPMailer's host setting and see 
if that helps.

Marc
