What version of Outlook are you using? If 2002 or earlier, you may want to
use this:

After furious head scratching,
[email protected] asked:
| My description of the problem was not very clear, sorry
| about that.
|
| I have a peer to peer network of 10 computers all running
| xp, with NO connection to the internet. As I teach IT I
| want my students to be able to send and receive email
| messages from each other. Or rather I want to set up a
| simulation so that I can teach them how to do this.
|
| I have found a simple, free piece of 3rd party pop 3
| server software called AGSMAIL. I have installed this
| succesfully on one of the computers and created a couple
| of users. When I set up an email account in Outlook on
| one of the other computers I cannot put in a proper email
| address because I do not have a domain. i.e
|
[email protected]. If, however I pit the user email
| address as being test1 ( one of the test usernames) then
| when I test the settings they all work fine, but when I
| go to outlook to send a message,using the email address
| test1, it fails because it does not recognise the email
| as a proper address.
|
| I was wondering if there was a setting in OUTLOOK which I
| could change so it will accept it.
|
| Hope thats made things a little clearer.

|| Outlook is a mail client and requires connection to your ISP to
