thanks for the fast response!
I use, not by my choice AOl, outlook express and yahoo mail.
I think that the problme is related to only the outlook express stuff going out. At least that is where I am getting the problems and constant questions about pending mail to send.
I am not sure about the SMTP question. I only know the term of simple mail transfer protocol.
does that help?
Also, I use firfox 1.0, syblaster, ad-aware, and sybot S&D, but I always have to reboot the DSL modem to make screens chamge. Also, I have a problem with programs not loading when clicked on. I am virus and spyware clean. Also virus clean with Grisoft and Avast.
