Winsock Error drive me crazy Win XP drive me crazy

[AccuTime]

Hi

If there is anyone who knows about the following problem and knows the
answer I would very much appreciate it. Getting a new PC is supposed to
be fun but XP is giving me big headache.

Thanks in advance

Tony

[Snip list of outgoing SMTP failures]

As mentioned on the Status telephone line, status@gate, etc., Demon have
got major problems with their SMTP smart-hosts (the post machines) at
the moment. s@g says they have identified the cause and are working on
a fix.
