set up a "send only" outlook email account

[Matt Teagarden]

Using Outlook 2003, would like to add an email account (pop3) for sending
mail only. This is a general ([email protected]) account. The primary user
receives incoming mail to her outlook, but other staff members would like to
be able to send messages from that account.

Do I leave pop3 server information blank? Is there a setting to disable
"receive"?

You can't leave it blank. It must contain what appears to be a valid server
address. It can be, too, if you have one, but it doesn't have to be. After
creating the account and while viewing the Inbox, press Alt-Ctrl-S. Select
the send/receive group (usually All Accounts) and click Edit. Select the
account you added and uncheck the box labeled "Receive mail items".
