can't send email, only receive
Same with three email prog.s (OE, Pegasus, and Incredimail). Settings for
ISP are correct (dialup access). Messages are something like host not responding. (Similar settings on other PCs with same ISP - fine, so no problem there.) Receiving is OK, and obviously MoDem is sending/receiving at the lower level: can log in to (and get recognised/acknowledged by) ISP, receive email, and browse the web. I presume some system file is corrupt (or, just possibly, something wrong in the settings, though the DUN connectoid seems to be as it should). Any idea which file to suspect (or setting to check)? ISP (a UK one) is orange. (Previously known as Wanadoo, and before that FreeServe. I know old identities are still honoured; although the SMTP/POP servers have new names, I think the old ones still work too, though I've set the new ones - I think they all point to the same two machines anyway.) |

Confirm SMTP data. Posibly autentification is needed too.

This is usually caused by an anti-spam program or an anti-virus set to scan email. Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in OE. The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express Published: November 18, 2004 By Tom Koch http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/...orruption.mspx Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus) attachments, which exasperates the problem. Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email scanning and here's what they say: "Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions." http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...256c7500723cf0 "...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are saved to your hard drive." http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01100907323806 "NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions." http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...= bar_sch_nam See also http://help.expedient.com/mailnews/n...ntivirus.shtml So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com Please reply in newsgroup. Do NOT send email. |
