Bad .. really bad .. but it strictly leads to the conclusions there's something with your phone line as TB! has no limitations build in (except the 30-day trial period *g*) PP>> happen if the mails you're about to send have attachments? PY> No attachments. Just the mail body. PP>> How did you figured out that exactly 1.4k are _the_ limit (steps you PP>> took to come to this conclusion)? PY> I can send a 1,413 bytes mail but not 1,553 bytes or bigger mails. I guess this is reproduce able? If so could you pleast test sending a mail exactly 1433 bytes and another exactly 1434 bytes of size? You can achieve this size by creating a mail addressed to yourself, using the "Safe Draft" function, looking for the size, reopening it and adding (random?!) characters until it fit's this sizes. The reason for exactly this values is they're exactly above and below 1,4 k. Not I'm aware of any historical limitation at this mystical point, but I'd like to pin down it is _really_ this size that matters in your case. PP>> How are you connected to the internet? Modem (Speed)? ISDN? Cable PP>> Modem? Permanent connection? PY> Modem (56K) So we have to pin down why either your modem or your ISP blocks / cancels the connection for mails bigger than ~1.4k. A 56k modem should be fast enough to handle this size of mails in an usual amount of time, so I'd not expect the problem to be a timeout. Exception: you're not using your ISP's SMTP-server or it's server is connected _very_ bad to the ISP-internal network. I assume you have used an other MUA before The Bat! and I assume it was working alright ... could you test this other MUA in exactly this situation too? or is it already uninstalled / not installed after a system renew? It's a very tricky problem you've got, but I think we should try to pin it down, it just is technic and not a human being, so it is possible to find the error *GGG* -- Best Regards Peter Palmreuther mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.54 Beta/14 on Windows NT 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) Windows NT: No Thanks; Not Trusted, Not Today, Not Tomorrow. -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
