Re: SMTP troubles (AGAIN!)

Good to hear that there is no mail router assigned.

The Java mail is still just a SMTP server.

SMTP is sending based on the default DNS resolution path, usually 
starting with the local host table, then through the defined name 
servers.    What does CHGTCPDMN look like?  What's in the host table? 
See what IP address shows up when you ping hb.quik.com.
