Re: Faulty Port 25 (SMTP)?!?!

Dear Jim,

I surely do very much appreciate your time given to me...but
please do read again now "very closely" my previous reports:

a) Described problem NOT occurring with my OTHER PC and
which is linked to the SAME Router AND ISP as well (!).
b) SAME problem by using my old 56k-Modem and logging
myself into a completely DIFFERENT ISP (!).
c) SAME problem by using DIFFERENT email programs,
such as Mozilla or Thunderbird/Firefox (!). And I also
created just now a new identity on my OE, but...

So I have the strong feeling that this "throttle-effect" must
be "more deeply" located within perhaps the Registry of
my OS "XP Pro" itself...hmm, what do YOU think??

With best regards from Switzerland,
Philippe (Borel)
PS: If you happen to visit my country one day, I'd be very
pleased to be able to invite you then to my home, so that
you could check for yourself this "mystery"...and I really
mean it; okay!
