What happens when you try to send mail? Any error messages?


Absolutely nothing Steve, my mail is just sitting there in the outbox,
even when i press the send button - there is no size problem either as
in the past some attachments have been too big to go through!

Using webmail right now, so I can still send e-mail at least.

Thanks for asking.

BT changed their mail config early today - I've followed their config
guide and can now send from all bar 1 of my addresses that I've
configured so far. The big problem is that the 1 that's not working is
my primary address (will[at]lancre{dot}net) - identically configured to
all my other addresses at that domain and sending from the same client
with the same configuration. The only response from BT's helpdesk so far
has been to point me at a Microsoft page explaining what a 553 error is,
despite me explaining the problem in detail and including headers from
both failing and working mails. Bunch of incompetent ******* in my
opinion. I'm now seriously considering moving to Zen once I'm out of my
current contract with BT.
