Peter,
I use an older version of Eudora - version 4.2.2 to be exact - and have
that happen occasionally, myself. That being said, I don't think it is a
'Eudora' problem. When it happens with me, attempting to contact whichever
of my domains generate the error via FTP usually fails, too.
I think it is either network glitches, or, in my case, a flaky wireless
card (I occasionally lose the connection between my computer and
router.) Usually, if I wait ten or fifteen minutes after a failed FTP
attempt, it will have worked itself out (maintenance?). When it doesn't, I
put in a trouble ticket to my host and get it resolved.
I know my wireless card is choking periodically because it sometimes gives
me a blue screen error on reboot pointing to the PRISM (wireless card)
driver. When I get aggravated enough at it, I'll pull the cover and swap
it with a new one, but it isn't happening often enough to merit that just yet.
Cheers,
Tom

Tom, as a fellow Eudora user have you any thoughts on this problem I'm having?
I'm using a 2Mbit broadband connection. Most oft he time email comes
through regularly (I have set to check every 30 minutes) but for no
obvious reason from time to time - most often if I've been away from the
machine - I find messages against each of the "Personalities" to say
'Error getting network address for "ranworth.co.uk" (or whichever) Cause:
host not found [11001].
If it can find it when I'm there and taking no notice of it, why can't it
find it when I go to make coffee or have lunch or am sleeping and am still
taking no notice?
Any thoughts as to what might be doing this?
OK, OK so the PC's feeling neglected - but apart from that? LOL

That was probably bounced back to you from one of the WDVL subscribers'
mail server, as I received both from the list. I'm beginning to see more
and more of this myself. At first, I thought it was my own domains that
were being blocked.
The last block message I received was from an aweber mail server. It was
pretty clear and indicated that the server being blocked was a RoadRunner
server. My ISP is wireless, and probably renting bandwidth from RR to resell.
Going into Eudora's mail settings for the accounts being blocked, I
changed them to use my own domains' mail servers (on two different
hosting companies) and tried again. They went through! So, it wasn't my
domains being blocked, but my ENTIRE ISP!!
If the people designing and using these draconian filters don't learn to
do a better job of filtering out just the offenders instead of blocking
the entire highway the offender used, this could get bad. Some ISP's
won't let users use their own mail servers calling the practice
'relaying' - a tactic used by many spammers. Blocking 'legitimate'
relaying, where username/password authentication is used, is like
throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Cheers,
Tom Fosson
