Hi Richard,

On Saturday, October 5, 2002, 7:35 PM, you put forth, in part, about "Can only connect 
when The Bat starts.":

It is *not* TB!  It is any MUA.  They all use the same standard ports.
This is because when you send and recieve mail, it uses 2 ports, 25 for
SMTP and 110 for POP3. If you use SSL or IMAP,  those are other ports....
It is not a question of your mailer... it is a question of you knowing
your firewall.  Just set your firewall to open up port 25, and/or 110,
experiment a little.  I am sure you can open up individual ports, instead
of a general "medium security." If you use IMAP and/or SLL to your ISP,
let us know...

Best regards,
 Gary  

 I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.
