Richard: A recommendation on configuration. Use the IP address of the server ONLY IF either: a) you or your direct assigns control the email server and manage its DNS, or: b) you use the IP for immediate testing purposes.
Large services (like AT&T) may "move servers around" behind DNS; so the IP address of today is not necessarily the address of tomorrow. bruce/safesectors > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [RBASE-L] - R:Mail Help -- Please > From: "Richard Croy" <[email protected]> > Date: Sun, March 29, 2009 9:47 am > To: [email protected] (RBASE-L Mailing List) > > > Okay, I give up! <G> > > I have tried every possible configuration that I can think of, both with the > firewall turned on and turned off, to configure R:Mail (Ver. 2.6 for R:Base > 7.6) to work with my STMP > (AT&T) and all that I get is repeated "Connection failed" messages. > > I have been trying the same settings -- same server name, port, log-in, and > password -- as I use for my e-mail account on AT&T (which works great), but > these don't seem to work with R:Mail.
