It's the next day now. This message continued to refuse to be sent. I
looked and hunted and wondered ... then looked at the e-dress I had.
And it was then I knew we needed yet another "bell" or "whistle."
I would very much like to see Arachne come up with an "information"
message when mail is not *accepted* by SMTP server, with possible
reasons shown as "address does not exist on local server" "address is
incomplete" etc.
If that little extra fine touch had been in place I would have looked
*much* more carefully at how the mail was addressed.
And I would have seen that "arachne.cz" simply wasn't going to do the
job.
Since I often type in my e-dress, there have been a couple of
instances where my fingers would put my ISP as the last part of older
son's e-dress. Since he lives in California, he's not likely to get
mail here in Ohio at go-concepts.com ... it needs to go to
worldnet.att.net <G>

=================
I thought this was sent an hour ago! I was surprised to see it in the
outbox.
So I tried to send it. It wouldn't go. I hit R to rebuild the index.
Tried to send it. It wouldn't go. Hit F10 and looked to see if the
file was really there. It was. Tried to send it. It didn't go. Came
back to outbox. Tried to send it. It didn't go. Hit R to update index
again. Tried to send ...
By that time I decided maybe the message *shouldn't* go, although all
the other mail went just fine! <sigh>
So I'm modifying, will save to outbox, hit R to redo index, and then
send unsent mail.
==================
Mail is working perfectly now following LAN Wiz install from scratch.
It's almost scary, knowing that it's my NIC that apparently *is* my
password and user number. Or maybe it's just because I'd previously
connected with username/password? No, I had to do a 3-finger on other
installation ... hmmmmmmmmmm
Methinks I don't *like* part of being on cable modem. Gotta go try
something before I hit the O key and finish optimization.
Oh, one thing I figured out last time -- maybe because no LAN requires
username/password???? -- is that setup doesn't allow you to put username
and password into cfg file anywhere if using LAN Wizard.
gotta save to outbox and exit now for more testing.
