Thanks for the quick reply!

Does Blat handle all the meeting scheduling and task management stuff that outlook does? Our employees are highly dependent on the scheduling components inside outlook for arranging meetings and so forth. I have successfully used other SMTP programs and server side solutions to send the email but it causes confusion for the users when the emails do not appear in their Outlook sent items. So now we are back to trying to push it through Outlook to keep everything in one place.


Thanks again for your help!
