My friend has a problem
she can not send emails to anyone else but herself


she cam create an email and send it to her friends and it does not get there.
if she creates an email to herself it comes back to her.

she has created another email account on orcon and the same problem still exists

she can send emails to others using orcon's webmail service

Thanks in advance

558764 2007-06-13 08:51:00 has she checked her outgoing smtp address? winmacguy (3367)
558765 2007-06-13 08:55:00 Does she get any sort of non delivery message when she sends to her friends.
Is she by any chance connecting to an ISP other than Orcon
If she is, Orcon will not allow her to send through their outgoing mail server but may allow delivery of messages to Orcon addresses.

She may need to change the Outgoing SMTP mail server to that of the ISP she is connected with.

558766 2007-06-13 09:27:00 sorry she is with slingshot


I have just talked her though checking smtp pop and username password and all appears OK.

She does not receive any mail failure notices.

558767 2007-06-13 09:44:00 When did this problem start? Is it linked to changing ISPs or installing antivirus software? What happens if she just replies to an email rather than create and send a new one?

So currently her POP and SMTP are set both to Slingshots server details? The email addess that shows in her "from" address is her Slingshot address or the Orcon one?

A few weeks ago

Is it linked to changing ISPs or installing antivirus software?

She has not changes ISP's



What happens if she just replies to an email rather than create and send a new one?

I have sent her an email and will report the results


So currently her POP and SMTP are set both to Slingshots server details? The email addess that shows in her "from" address is her Slingshot address

Everything is set to Slingshot


or the Orcon one?

SLingshot forget orcon I said orcon instead of slingshot by mistake .


when she contacted Slingshot they said her outlook express was the problem and to use Slingshots webmail she wants to fix the express problem if possible

558769 2007-06-13 10:19:00 I imagine Slingshot would of already gone over this, but she should try sending an email with first her antivirus disabled and then the firewall (if present). What version of Outlook Express is she using and with what operating system? Jen (38)
558770 2007-06-13 10:41:00 Hi Jen

she is using outlook express ver 6 sp2
she has XP SP2 with all updates

She was not running a firewall untill I turned it on on Monday night and also AVG had the email scanner disabled and I could not enable it.

I ununstalled and reinstalled AVG and her Email scanning was working.

On talking to her just now her AVG email scanning option has gone completelly.

558771 2007-06-13 20:34:00 Try deleting the account in outlook express and recreate it

I had one like this and I put it down to corruption and there must have been a hidden character
