I have a Windows Home Premium and want to STOP all outgoing
Email while allowing incoming. There should be a registry entry and
I prefer that method.

Windows Mail won't send anything if you don't explicitly command it to.

Just don't hit send.

Alternatively remove your SMTP settings.
 
Not what I want to do,,, its a public access unit and I do not want
anyone to be able to send SMTP mail. Receive is ok.
 
If you remove the SMTP server entry, then have the public access in a
guest (non-admin) account, I don't think they can alter the SMTP information.

If the computer is public access, why is WinMail even starting.
The account information would have to be entered to receive email.
Also, the email would have to be deleted from the computer.
Why not have access to email through Mail2Web or their ISPs webmail?
Remove winmail.exe.

I need it the way I asked.... renaming the exe file is not an option as I
want
RECEIVE to WORK! I own the PC but need to stop ANYONE else
from using the SMTP function in WinMAIL.
 
You can remove the SMTP information from the account and that will prevent
sending in WinMail. There is no registry setting to block SMTP.

The users can also log on to their webmail and send from there, even if you
block SMTP.

Right Steve I just do not want the traces in the WinMail - sent folder.....
too much possibility of porn since anyone can acess the system.

If I remove the info they can add back in their own...... and then send
porn or what have you.
 
If someone composes an email and tries to send it, is that message going to
sit in the Outbox and cause WinMail to not receive, because WinMail will try
to send first?

1st reply was yanked off server,,,, I said P*rn I guess. Anyway I need to
stop anyone
from entering their own SMTP info and sending email while still allowing
receive to
function.
 
Then there's port 587 for some ISPs, and at least one I know of that
uses port 80 for SMTP.
