Hi,
I did a few suggestions, i did enter my IP inside the range as an ipadres allowing to send through this mailserver.
I for some reason put a slash between the name and the password, i corrected that (don't know why i did that) and from this point on i put the options on
I did turned the settings in connection control on from top to bottom....
If i turn the last one (Only authenticated...) then the top two option grey out, doing so resulted in this reaction from the Mercury server...

I turned the bottom option off, and from that point everything seems to work fine....
I hope it stays this way, Gentelmen, thanks for your advise and patience... a lot of patience i guess...
