The error message is "Warning: Could Not Send Message For Past Four Hours". It says that it could not connect to the server it's trying to deliver the mail to and that it will keep trying for the next week. I am using my own mail server. I do not wish to use CableOne's smtp server because I consider them to be incompetent. My Linksys router is set to obtain everything automatically from the cable modem.
