E-mail send only

[Byron Broussard]

Does anyone know of a way to set up an account in Outlook
2002 that will allow me to send mail only and not receive
mail. I want to be able to do this so that I can use a
company e-mail address when I send or reply to messages
through my ISP at home. Outlook 2002 will not allow me to
leave the incoming mail server section blank - I entered a
fake address and it sends fine, but I get error messages
that the incoming server could not be found.

Also, Outlook 2000 had the ability to disable send/receive
e-mail on selected boxes by checking a box in the e-mail
account setup. I can't find it in 2002. Does anyone know
where it is?

Thanks

Try this. Go to "Tools", "Options", click on the "Mail
Setup" tab, click the "Send/Receive" button, then click
the "Edit" button. Here you can set different options for
each account. I hope this helps. Let me know.

Tools -> Send/Receive Settings -> Define Send/Receive Groups -> select
your group -> click Edit -> select your e-mail account -> disable
Receive for that account and leave only Send enabled. Now that account
will only send and never receive.

You may not be able to do that. Many ISPs now require that the sending
address's domain match the ISPs domain. For example, I can't send a message
using my Smiths-Aerospace.com domain when connected to my home ISP,
SBCGlobal.net. This is an anti-SPAM measure.

That said, just create a new account (Tools>E-mail Accounts>Add a new e-mail
account). Set it up as a POP account through your ISP, but specify your
work domain as the sending domain. Then, edit your Send/Receive groups so
that in the "All Accounts" goupr, that account is a send-only account.
Then, when composing a message, click the "Account" button on the Tool bar
and select the POP account. Your message should go out via that account, if
your ISP allows relaying.
