Hey, Tage
« on: December 26, 2003, 04:19:01 PM »
I've got a problem with my popmail account, and was hoping maybe you could help.  Any time I go out of town, Mozilla lets me receive emails, but it won't send any.  It says "The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server rickstranger.com failed.  The server may be unavailable or is not accepting SMTP connections.  Please verify that your SMTP setting is correct and try again, or contact your network administrator."

Any ideas on what causes this?  It works fine from our network at home, but it won't send from any other location.  I have to use yahoo mail if I want to communicate.

Sorry, you'll need to email your question.

Sounds like an SMTP auth problem, but if you're checking email first that shouldn't happen. When are you getting home?

Well, I'm not sure what would cause it. Just make sure your POP and SMTP settings are both rickstranger.com, and always check for email before you try to send. If that doesn't work, there may be a problem with the ISP you're using.

Hum.  Guess you'll have to show me what you mean when I get home.  I haven't been able to get it to work in Idaho, at BYU--or, actually, any place I've plugged into the internet except at hour LAN at home.

Er, it's not anything complicated. All I'm saying is to click the little box to check for email right before you try to send anything out.

Hum?  Oh, I was talking about the checking POP and SMTP settings part.  I did the 'check for email first' part, and it still won't send.

Tage: have you finished Part One of Way of Kings yet?  No pressure, but I'm waiting to read it.

Coincidentally, I've heard next to nothing about the book, yet I had a dream that I was in it last night.  I was the rival of the son of the God of Jealousy, and we were at a party.  And for some reason in the dream this was the plot of EUOL's book.

Actually I've finished the entire thing, so you can bug EUOL for it when he gets back from California on Saturday.

I recommend a courier with a gold plated serving dish.

Welcome back, EUOL.  Apparently we do not live too far from each other, so you can either email your contact information to the address on my profile, or call me (my phone number will be listed in the location portion of my profile today and tomorrow (8-9 May.)  I can just come by and pick it up.
