Hi all - Started having the same problem again, where I could only receive incoming mail, with my SMTP server failing to respond when sending messages. I just disabled Sygate, and all seems to be ok. So, what do I need to do with Sygate to get the programme to allow OE to send messages? And, am I safe leaving Sygate disabled now that I have a firewall in my router? Thanks - Andy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
