Hi, Nick, I scanned the last nine months of archived list messages, and can't find the answer. Several others have asked essentially the same question, but without answer. I'm virtually certain that it can be done, but it is not obvious to me either. I would normally hack around to see if I could figure it out, but unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately ;) none of the smtp servers that I use require authentication. So I can't really be of direct help. My first thought was to change the settings in the user.r file (located usually where REBOL is installed) and try to change the SMTP server from: smtp.my.dom to: user:[pass--smtp--my--dom] Save the file and then restart REBOL. If that works, then the great, but it is unsecure if anyone has access to your file system, so the trick then is to supply the values as needed (which is what you are asking, I know). Otherwise I would request support at [feedback--rebol--com] and see if the answer is known. If you figure it out, be sure and let us know! The question will surely rise again. Good luck! --Scott Jones
