X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 16:42:35 -0000 I have a client with a POP account on my server. Their main connection to the internet is via AOL. Some messages (not all) that they send out via this POP account (through my SMTP) never reach the server at all. They never bounce back, but never hit the server. I've sat in front the computer, checked the outlook settings, deleted and re-created the outlook settings, etc. That is all correct. The only thing I'm starting to notice is that if they send an e-mail with 1 address in the "TO:" line, it has better luck than if there are multiple addresses in the "TO:" line, however, that doesn't seem to affect things always. I had a client with this problem in the past - we took them off of AOL and moved them to a local dial-up provider. After that, there were no missing e-mails. I wondered if anyone else had encountered a similar problem, and if they ever found out what the culprit was. I hate telling my clients, "Don't use AOL" without a reason for the disappearing e-mail. Thanks, Joe
