I have at last decided to update my system Win XP Pro SP2 with SP3. This was done successfully and no problems indicated. All applications work, Firefox runs and I can see the internet, so Ethernet link to router is OK. I have not made any changes to PM.
I can receive messages with PM from my default ISP (btinternet.com) and also the standby ISP (12freeukisp.co.uk). However, for some reason PM will not transmit messages via either ISP and I get a "Mail Delivery Failure" message as
Delivery has failed on the enclosed message for the following
reasons reported either by the mail delivery system on the mail
relay host or by the local TCP/IP transport module:
*** TCP/IP error while processing job ***
A network error has occurred while WinPMail attempted to send
your message. This error could be caused by many conditions,
including the following:
* The remote host may have gone down.
* Your network may have been broken or gone down.
* You may have a configuration problem in your WINSOCK.DLL.
* If running on a SLIP line, you may have experienced a
timeout (increase the value in WinPMail's Network Config.
Dialog), or the phone line may have gone down or suffered
from excessive line noise.
WinPMail will requeue your message and try again later.
Rebooting the system and trying again sometime later PM appeared to be able to send messages as well. I have done nothing to the system. However, I have just tried once more and the Network or Protocol Error Message appeared again saying, Description of error: Handshake error: the server has either shut down the connection unexpectedly or has returned a response Pegasusmail cannot recognise. The trace message cut and pasted from the window is
[*] Connection established to 217.146.188.192
>> 0038 220 smtp819.mail.ird.yahoo.com ESMTP
<< 0021 EHLO [192.168.1.64]
>> 0050 421 Service not available ; Closing transmission
Was this a temporary glitch or something that might appear again? In the above Mail Delivery Failure Message the only relevant item would seem to be the WINSOCK.DLL? I would appreciate any feedback.
I have my Win98SE laptop running and wireless linked to the router and running PM v4.51 - this seems to be working fine so I don't think it is an ISP server problem.
Thanks
