>>If you have the account information already you should be able to setup your application to use that. One way is to look at the Outlook settings to find the SMTP server they are using. Another way is to run a port scan on the network to find any server with port 25 open although the IT department should really be helping you.<

Wasn't able to find it on theirs and it appeared the access to the information was more limited. I'm going back again tomorrow to have another look so I can ask more intelligent questions of both the IT there and the UT here. Re their IT department, I never ascribe to malice that which can be more easily explained by incompetance :-)

I have definitely dealt with incompetent IT departments and the can make life miserable. Good luck with the information search.

Also, If they can't help then maybe you should just run that port scan. Look for servers with an open port 25.
