well folks, I have decided that cox.net no longer needs to be my mail provider. I have moved my e-mail to gmail.com (btw, I now know how to get kmail to work directly with gmail, so if anyone wants that info, I'll be more than happy to help). the synopsis: recently, cox communications started blocking outbound e-mails based on some terms in a script or application they use (said application being designed to look for and block "probable spam"). unfortunately, this has caused a number of their customers (me included) to actually not be able to send some mail. apparently, this script or application is not user setable from the client end and it also seems that no publically available data can be found on it, how its setup or anything else pertaining to its operation. so, with that in mind, I am "moving my mail". anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know. TMH p. the setup for gmail in kmail "is so easy, even a caveman can do it!". :) --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
