If the McAfee spam killer works as a local proxy and automatically adjusts the configuration, the entries in OE would be correct (using localhost as the server). You could try to use the real server addresses for POP3 access to your dads email account and enter them in OE. As it looks now, the McAfee spam filter is not working, and OE can't connect to the local proxy. Regarding the unability for you to send messages with Voyager, there could be different causes for that: a) the personal firewall (McAfee it seems) is set to something like high security and blocks every SMTP connection attempt to outside hosts that are not explicitely configured as allowed - you have to check the configuration of the McAfee firewall in that case b) the provider of your dad blocks SMTP connections to foreign SMTP servers and people must relay all messages thru their own SMTP server (you can't do anything about that) -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) The struggle for knowledge has a pleasure in it like that of wrestling with a fine woman. -- Lord Halifax Current version is 3.95.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Alexander, On Tue, 26 Dec 2006 you wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ASK 1. you can't send with Voyager and ASK 2. your dad can't connect using OE. ASK Is that correct? Indeed it is. I used to be able to send with no problems but the last two times I've been up (and since he upgraded his McAfee) I haven't been able to connect, even though I put all the usual SMTP settings in for my Voyager, and then there's something that completely screws up MacAfee so that Spamkiller doesn't work. On going to the internet chat forums I found out that it's the Spamkiller programme that doesn't actually load and using Voyager causes that. I've now completely removed it but still can't send myself using Voyager. ASK If the McAfee spam killer works as a local proxy and automatically ASK adjusts the configuration, the entries in OE would be correct ASK (using localhost as the server). Yes, it does work if I manually install Spamkiller but that's beyond my Dad so that's why I've removed it. ASK As it looks now, the McAfee spam filter is not working, and OE ASK can't connect to the local proxy. Indeed, that's what turned out to be the problem. ASK a) the personal firewall (McAfee it seems) is set to something like ASK high security and blocks every SMTP connection attempt to outside ASK hosts that are not explicitely configured as allowed - you have to ASK check the configuration of the McAfee firewall in that case The first time I use Voyager McAfee asks for permission to allow it. The firewall itself is set to normal security. ASK b) the provider of your dad blocks SMTP connections to foreign SMTP ASK servers and people must relay all messages thru their own SMTP server I suppose that's a possibiliy although he's using BT in the UK and I think they'd allow that sort of thing. At the moment I'll just have to content myself with being able to read mails but having to send using Mail2Web. -- Regards, Richard | The Bat! 3.86.03 with POP3 account AntispamSniper 1.7.0.8 | Windows XP (build 2600) version 5.1 Service Pack 2 | F-Prot AV, Outpost Firewall Pro, Spysweeper, Adaware, SpyBot | CPU: Athlon 1.09 Ghz | RAM: 1024 MB Holiday in France: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lazyhomes/holiday.html mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Hello Roelof, On Tue, 26 Dec 2006 you wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] RO Kill spamkiller when you're using Voyager on your dad's system. I've actually uninstalled it as my Dad doesn't use his PC a great deal and knows nothing about them so, when something goes even slightly wrong, he's flummoxed and it's difficult as he lives on his own. OE now works fine but I still can't send with Voyager. His MCafee firewall asks for permission to use Voyager which I grant but still no luck. -- Regards, Richard | The Bat! 3.86.03 with POP3 account AntispamSniper 1.7.0.8 | Windows XP (build 2600) version 5.1 Service Pack 2 | F-Prot AV, Outpost Firewall Pro, Spysweeper, Adaware, SpyBot | CPU: Athlon 1.09 Ghz | RAM: 1024 MB Holiday in France: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/lazyhomes/holiday.html mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
