Don't you just love that 'feature' on Charter - you can only send email from your home (so they can tell you are in their IP range). I take my notebook everywhere and like to keep the history of my conversations and I don’t like using their web-based email client.
They have a little pocket of users where I live, and everyone who has them hopes they sell out to Verizon someday. Still, it is better than the DSL line I used to have. Do you use Charter for TV? I kept my Directv for now; that is getting pretty expensive but I can't survive without the NHL Center Ice package. lol Lou -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracy Pearson Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 5:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] Optimum online not sending mail through port 25 Michael Madigan <[email protected]> wrote: >I have no idea.

As long as I'm in the defined IP range they know as their own everything works. Did your dynamic IP change? If not, it may be that the server you are connecting to is the backup server for the main when it goes offline and it is misconfigured. Most of the time the administrators of boxes work in in a void from tech support. -- Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
