We simply switched component sets to fix the problem.  Pity since Indy 
is a Wonderful suite of components.

Yeah, Indy 9 from Indy Project.  I've since moved over to Synapse 
because I am doing a lot of work with Lazarus/Freepascal now and Synapse 
works great with both Delphi and Freepascal.

I'm not sure that Intraweb has an included smtp interface, but I am 
almost certain Indy was used as the underlying technology or at least 
the basis of.  I have a Intraweb license (v. 6/7?) actually, but haven't 
used it much since I started with ASP.net in .net/mono and C#/Chrome. 
Personally, I'm excited about Delphi for PHP coming out.


But now I stray off topic...
