John, I think you got it, pretty much. Although I could swear that previously I wasn't getting incoming mail -- I could see it sitting in my Verizon account when I signed in on line but it wasn't downloading -- I somehow advanced to the point you, and others, have described: getting incoming, but not able to send. And I see I can only send using a bellsouth email address (when signed onto the bellsouth account I set up at my mother's place (for my visits, not for her)). But what's the deal with the various wireless networks one runs into at hospitals, coffee shops, etc.? Some that I hop onto I can send and receive using my Verizon e-mail. Others I can't use email on at all.
You can basically blame spam for most of these measures (OK, all of them <g>). An ISP that *doesn't* block outgoing mail to any old mail server, must be one that doesn't provide email to its customers. Otherwise they will find that all email from that ISP will get blocked by many others out there. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
