I think if you do take the tickmark off, the same would happen at your end. Anyway, that's not your point. One question: The POP-checking of the non-LAN accounts poses no problem. Is it because they don't try to check or because they report an error? In any case, it is weird that checking and sending behave differently. >> Is your bug that TB doesn't dial out when a LAN connection is >> established, or that you don't see an error in the log for "sent >> failed"? > "Sent failed" is the error. > It dials out indeed and gets mail for all accounts, but the SEND is > emerges too early (when there is a "LAN setting" account in > check-all-stack). So the bug is not reporting the error. But you you want is that it behaves the same way the checking behaves, right? I would agree to that. > No, it should not send messages through LAN for an account that's > dialup. I am grateful it does. My dial-up connection sometimes breaks. Then I dial in to another ISP with a DUN-icon on my desktop, and lo and behold, TB connects great to the POP and SMTP servers. Even though "LAN or manual connection" would have to be set. I would hate it if I had to switch that every time. > And if it would do so for speed issues it would have to check if the > smtp server address is reachable. If not, wait for dialup connection. Either use the dial-up, or at least report an error. I agree with that. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
