Perhaps it is a problem of TB getting the messages from the local server *AND* the ISP's remote server. You might try configuring the firewall to block TB from the internet so that TB can only get to the local server. That is about the only idea that comes to mind. I use TB and the real ZAP without any issues, but I do not use a local server either. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v2.00.6 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
