Problem sending mail

[danco]

I don't seem to be able to send mail at present., though mail is coming in ok.

This is connecting to f2s and trying to send both directly through outmail.f2s.com and through another account, not on f2s which has worked in the past.

In both cases I get

“Server not responding. 706; ” “Lost connection to the server. {37:418}”

(followed by some junk which is not alphanumeric).

Is this an f2s problem or is it likely to be on my machine?

There's only one change in my system recently. I use a Mav, OS 10.4.4 (Eudora is my email program). I installed the ClamXav anti-virus program. I've tried turning off watching any folders, and quitting watching, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.

Mine has just stopped working as well. Receives fine won't send, just added message to other thread about this. I guess there is a problem out there...

I get this;

The connection to the server has failed. Account: '****', Server: 'outmail.f2s.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Yeah our status page is showing outmail.f2s.com (the sending email server) as offline:

I don't really think you can honestly say they can't run it. Their outmail server is very reliable in my opinion, and I can't remember the last time the outmail server wasn't working, can you?
