SMTP suddenly doesn't work
Leslie Owen
recommend. Windows asks what program to use to open this file. It
doesn't recognise it as an exe.
Suggestions?
BTW, my error message reads:
The SMTP or POP3 host to which you are attempting to connect
(smtp.azstarnet.com) has returned a response which is not valid
according to the protocol in use.
This problem may indicate that the server uses a later or earlier
protocol revision which is not compatible with Pegasus Mail, that the
server is not the right type of server or is misconfigured, or that
there may be a network error of some kind.
You should contact the administrator of the host to which you are trying
to connect for further assistance.
Same symptoms: just stopped working one day.
HELP!
