Thanks for this but as I am not a techno person I do not understand:

How do I configure this and who is the administrator i.e. is this
administrator our ISP Freeserve or our email address provider
nameplanet.com?!

Thanks for your help as we are flummoxed by this and not being able to send
emails a real pain in the neck!

Thanks

Thanks
