My web is hosted by a server that does not allow me to use them for 'outgoing' mail. I can however have mail addressed to Webmaster@CreativeLighthouse.com.
I tried to set up an account in Outlook 2000 so that the "from" when email arrives at it's destination would say CreativeLighthouse but I keep getting delivery errors. My current ISP for email is MSN. No matter what I try, I get errors. If I use MSN's pop3 and smtp but just change user name; if I use Webmaster@ as the pop3 and MSN as the smtp. It doesn't seem to matter!
HELP !!!!

This could be due to the fact that outlook express being the default email and the ISP is using a proxy server.Using pop 3 is through a proxy server and will not be able to access the webmaster location.

I don't believe that what you list as your "from" address will effect you sending or recieving. Have you tried putting in the following:

Incoming POP3 Server: pop.creativelighthouse.com

Outgoing SMTP Server: mail.msn.com

and set up your username on 3rd tab as webmaster and enter your valid password

Hope that I read your question correctly and that you find this helpful
