When sending mail via a dialup networking condition mail is not sent when you connect, it is sent based on when the retry times are met....ie..mail fails to be delivered and sits in the queue, in 5 minutes it tries to send again, 15 minutes later it retries, 30 min later it tries again....etc..etc..until the failure time limit is reached. What this means is that if your connection is not up when it reties, it will sit in the queue. Try extending out the amount of time that your ISDN is connected to your ISP. This has always been a problem with the dial-up functions on MSX. Joe Kinne Prime Electric, Inc. Network Services Division 425-747-5200 -----Original Message----- From: Andy D.

It dials up every 15mins to send mail, but at lot of the time, the mail just sits in the Queue in the SMTP Virtual Server I have to choose Force Connection to get the mail to leave.. Any ideas?
