This is of course a load of bollocks as I can send mail, just not every time I try. Yahoo (my ISP contracted e-mail management to them) is just being a ***. However, what concerns me is that after the refusal pops up, the mail is eliminated and not stored in the queue as it used to be. And I keep getting Mail Delivery Failure notices which is pointless because I KNOW IT HAS FAILED! So I try to bounce copy of the message I saved and it can be refused as many as five times in a row before it actually sends. Other clients of this ISP have reported similar behaviour but it appears no one uses Pegasus so the particular failure to store in queue (which was NEVER an issue in all the years before) is not being discussed. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Pegasus will occasionally store the outgoing message in queue but it isn't consistent; in fact, it's damned inconsistent. If I send it from queue and I get a refusal, it erases the item in queue and I have to go back to my saved copy of the message.
I need to be sure that my e-mails are reaching the people I work for. There are printing deadlines hanging in the balance.
To save time, no, I have not made any major changes to my OS (Windows 7), I have not changed the parameters in Pegasus. I did update my password about 15 months ago pursuant to a hack, but that did not cause the current problem which is much more recent than that.
(Nota: If I had known there was Mr. Bowdler lurking, I would have written: Yahoo is just being an asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk (because I used a four-letter word like life and love) :->)
