 p><p><span><br></span></p><p><span>Any clues.&nbsp;&nbsp; What is also interesting is that I have an Excel application with VBA SMTP calls to send email and my AOL setup for that routine uses 465 as the port number and same username and password strings and AOL accepts the connect via this email client so not sure why BLAT as the client is not getting the same response to being sent the same information.</span></p></p>
