I've had an intermittent ongoing problem for the past several months.
When sending email it quite properly goes to the outbox and an attempt is made to connect to the smtp server, but after some time the attempt aborts with the error message "Could not connect to the server", which is also shown in the account log. This happens to outbounds on all of my three different accounts. I've enabled protocol logging, but since there is no connection and hence no protocol exchange, the protocol log remains empty. The smtp settings in TB! seem to be correct, and have not changed in several years. The problem is intermittent; sometimes a message will be sent and the next message, a few seconds later, hangs. Once a message hangs, it hangs indefinitely. Restarting TB! is no help. And while the TB! outbound is hanging, other internet connections work normally. Any thoughts would be appreciated... -- Dave Goodman The Bat! 3.99.25 AntispamSniper 2.7.1.1 Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
