1. (David,) Have you tried it with ChoiceMail shut down, i.e. connecting directly using TB?
Yes. And THIS time it works. That is, SMTP on both send and receive. Without CMail active or even in the chain.
2. What is TB log telling you when you try?
(Please see log in previous past.)
- - - - - - -
What is the behavior? Does it just hang? Time out?
Error message comes up saying authentication is necessary. - - - - -
Ctrl+Shift+A will get you to the log.
I am unfamiliar with ChoiceMail, but I just had this problem when I moved some things around and changed some software. I had been using a different SMTP server for a couple of accounts and had the "Use Specific Settings" box checked.
My System is Win 98SE on an Athon processor. There is a fire wall included with the DSL modem, and I have checked to be sure that SMTP is allowed. Does anybody have any ideas or better, some "deep" experience with all the SMTP settings in the Bat, or firewalls?
- - - - - - What is the modem model? What is the firewall? I'd guess it had nothing to do with either, but better to ask the question now. :)
(Can I delay answering these questions for a bit longer?) - - - - - - Is it just me or is it weird that a spam program is handling SMTP? AFAIK, Popfile, Spampal, etc., handles only POP. Spam is incoming, not outgoing, or have those crafty spammers figured out something new? Since spam is only incoming, that would alleviate the necessity of using ChoiceMail with SMTP and connecting directly with the server if that's what the problem is.
This is an excellent point.
