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.

Yes, it does work if I manually install Spamkiller but that's beyond my Dad so that's why I've removed it.

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/ . ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.95.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
