Hello all, Below is my original message that I was going to sent to the list.
>>>>>>>>>> Hoping someone here can help me resolve a problem or at least help me understand what is going on. For years I have been retrieving and sending my e-mail from the same ISP (erinet/voyager/corecomm) using NetDial for DOS 1.3 (C)-1996/97 by Marc S. Ressl, SMTPOP12, PMPOP, and Pegasus Mail for DOS. I have also used The Bare Bones DOS email system. v3.2 2001 by JDC (James David Chapman) to receive (no success sending though). I also used Arachane 1.43 to send and receive e-mails. Now all of a sudden I can no longer send or receive e-mails in any of the above DOS programs. I keep getting a "could not resolve host" error message. Using the same setup (as far as mail server, DNS addresses etc.) I can send and receive in Windows 3.1 and Windows 98 (using a myriad of e-mail clients). I can understand having problems with SMTP/ESMTP etc. but POP3? Why is this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you >>>>>>>> Meanwhile back at the ranch... I no longer need help in getting the above to work (sort of), I was able to get the above to work my using the server address (xxx.xx.xx.xxx) instead of the server name (mymailserver.com). I had tried this before but evidently didn't have the correct numbers. I don't like doing it this way because the server address changes from connection to connection. I seems to work OK on POP3, but sometimes does not work on SMTP and gives a "501 5.1.8 Sending Domain Must Exist" error. Then I must go in and manually change to another server address. :=( Now my question is basically the same, Why is this? Why must I use the mailserver address in DOS but not in Windows, especially when it has worked lo these many years on the same ISP? Thank you.
