Since your messages to this list are getting here, what setting differences are you using from the messages that you can't send? That would at least narrow the possible problems down.
I see you're using Thunderbird under windows for your messages to this list. Is that going through the same server?

First, to answer the question, yes the same server. Well, with a lot of futzing around--I'm not sure how I fixed it--I seem to have gotten it working again. I called the help desk at optonline (Optimum Cable) and, as I expected, the fellow was not familiar with Linux, altho he seemed to be reasonably knowledgeable of the mail routines, and suggested a few things that didn't work, including changing the outgoing port. For a while, it seemed to be refusing to send based on the sender being someone on the incoming mail list, which had been read already! I finally cleared everything in all mailboxes--in, out, sent, etc., emptied the main trash can--why does it look like a spool of thread?--changed the port back to the original 25, maybe I accidentally accessed something, i know I unchecked _something_ but I don't know what it was--_sorry!_ and here we are. I think that some kind of virus got into the machine. I'm not sure it's gone, but I hope so, having trashed a lot of messages, in and out and, I think, saved. BTW, I think I have turned off html in Thunderbird in Windows. I didn't realize it was turned on. Windows is not helpful in that respect. (AAMOF, Win 7 has been giving me fits, and I wish I had never "upgraded" to it!) Thanx to the guys who tried to help. --doug Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A. M.
