Re: Can't send email, can recieve with router



Thanks - the problem isn't exactly what's listed on that microsoft link. I
just can't really send anything, not just things with attatchments. The
email scanning shouldn't be the issue, since when I don't use the router I
can send things just fine. I tried it anyways and it doesn't do anything.
I use PC-CIllin. I guess I'll try changing the registry...
