1. You are right, my client has already spent over $1,000 for my billable time to write the code. I would rather pay $200 out of my own pocket to purchase a product and be very efficent in utilizing my time, but my client is the State Government. Do you have any idea what kind of cluster f*@k process I have to go through in order to have a PO approved to purchase a thrid party product? It is not fun and I would never put you through that. On the other hand, if it were one of my private clients that I was doing this project for then I would have bought your product the first day I even considered getting into this. I am actually enjoying learning Winsock programming and at my client's expense!

2. I am having a very hard time trying to figure out my Syntax error. I have tried several possible combination, such as:

RCPT TO: "ME" '<'wholden@paulconsulting.com'>'
RCPT TO: '<'wholden@paulconsutling.com'>'
RCPT TO: wholden@paulconsulting.com
RCPT TO: "ME" wholden@paulconsulting.com

The connection to the port is successful, sending the FROM is successful, but I can not get past sending the RCPT (501 Syntax error).

??

PS: singe quotes (') not included in the email addresses above (i.e., '<'...'>'
