Hi,
I think I have found out the problem.
The outlook express was first used in a different country. The problem
started when I move to another country with a different IP address
logged on! Now I am back to my original country and no more problems!

This is the info I got from a link to "fishermun" in another thread
from Kath I think.
"Most ISPs configure their SMTP servers to recognize only those whose
IP address is on the accepted list, meaning that you are connected
directly to that ISP. "

But question now is how can I configure the SMTP to accept the IP
that I am using when I am in a different country?

rgds,
CL

The settings for the SMTP server is provided by whoever you are connected with at that time.
You can usually check via the webpage of the provider.
My ISP is Freeserve. But this email address I am using is kathadams@(nospam)mvps.org
I therefore use the above email address but configure my settings to send via smtp.freeserve.net
(I receive via mvps.org - my POP3 server.) If I change my ISP to British Telecom then my server settings would change to (say) smtp.btinternet.com


Hope that helps?
