Hello Thomas, > I get this when the server cannot be reached - either because it is > down or the internet connection is faulty.

But _why_ can't connect? Failure of a connection to a single server would be understandable, but I connect to three different geographically dispersed smtp servers, and outbounds to all three fail when I have the problem. While TB!'s outbounds are 'hung' I can connect perfectly using other internet protocols, i.e. http, ftp, etc. I suppose I should install second email program and see whether it exhibits the same symptoms. I guess that would tell me whether I have a TB! problem or a system problem. This one really has me stumped. Anyway, I appreciate your reply... -- Dave Goodman The Bat! 3.99.29 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
