Hi,
Here at my office, our Outlook Express, changes the smtp
server of our accounts to "localhost", whenever it feels
like. As we use one provider to access the internet, and
have email with a domain registered with other provider,
sometimes we loose our email and have to correct the SMTP
field in Outlook Express. Only little time after, it
changes back to "localhost".
Does anynone knows if there is a patch fr this?
We have ou Win XP Pro up to date, and our server is a Win
2000 Server (but the email does passes through a central
email application)
Thank you
