With large service providers (GMail, Yahoo!), the retries come from
different IP addresses, and so are treated as a new attempt by the

No - that *is* an Outlook problem. If it's got the password it should be

Hi Rob
if I change my default gateway to virgin – the problem goes away
Are you running both connections at the same time ? If so you could
always add a static route on the machine to connect to Virgin's mail
