Thomas: that is amazing support! I went back to Pegasus, created a new message to myself, and noted that it went into the Queue Manager. A good sign.

Then I pulled up the support email that I had dumped tnto the Draft Manager, tried to send it, and it also headed off into the Queue Manage.

Told them to send, and off they went. [:^)]

Truly, I did not see any difference between what had originally been the settings, and the ones created by the Wizard. But either the wizard waved a magic wand, or Pegasus decided that if you were being called in to consult, it had better behave.

I am sure it was the latter. [:D]

PS: if ever I run into the problem again, I will check those SMMTP settings, and come back here, crying, with all the gory details. Have a good weekend. 

Hello Pegasorum:

I have just installed the current version of Pegasus 4.63. I simply installed it over the older version I was using.

 Many nice improvements! Thank you David Harris and the others who put so many hours on this program.

 I have run into the SMTP problem, discussed by others.

[quote]The address 'support@somebody.com' could be either and SMTP or an MHS address. Please use an IN: or MHS: override on the address so WinPMail knows where to send it.[/quote]

 I looked at some of the answers, which mostly seem to focus on not having an SMTP set up properly. I did look at the Internet Options, and as far as I know, one is set up there. (It was always there before...)

I ran the configuration wizard for incoming and outgoing mail, just in case. Then I looked at it, and it was all exactly as it was previously. I deleted the extra entries (the ones that were now doubled, because of running the wizard), to try to avoid adding complications.

The two check marks at the end are:

"use for all outgoing mail regardless of address"

"send any mail in the queue during idle checks"

As I am connected by broadband, there is "no explicit dialling support."

 I am able to receive mail, but am unable to send it.

 I am running Pegasus on a Win XP Medic Centre Edition, SP 3, all patched, etc. I am the only user of the computer, and have never set up anything complicated -- as far as I know.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Peter
