I've deleted the first and only message in the outbox and I'm still unable to send an email with a file attachment with Kmail, and Mozilla Messenger.

Mark I've done a ping of my mail server and came up with this: [hosey@localhost hosey]$ ping shawmail PING shawmail.cg.shawcable.net (24.71.223.43) from 192.168.1.103 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from shawmail.cg.shawcable.net (24.71.223.43): icmp_seq=0 ttl=125 time=62.097 msec Is shawmail.cg.shawcable.net my fully qualified host.domain.com address? If it is I just tried using that and I still got an error trying to send an email with an attachment. I've also tried using the ip address 24.71.223.43 and no dice with that either.

just delete the first message in the outbox. it has a bad address that does not connect to a valid smtp mail server address On Friday 30 November 2001 01:42, you wrote: I'm having a problem sending email in Mandrake 8.1.

The following transport protocol was used: smtp://shawmail:25 Mozilla Messenger gives an error message of: sending of message failed The funny thing is I can send smaller text messages with no problems it only seems to happen when I try to attach a file. My isp has a limit of 5 mb so I'm well below that with the 1.8 mb file. Can anybody shed some light on what might be the problem and what I can do to fix it? TIA Steve M.

I'm using a StarTech 10/100 ST100SW connectted to a Linksys hub and from there to a Linksys single port router which then goes to my cable modem. Browsing the internet with Netscape, Galeon, Mozilla, Knonqueror all work fine.
