Re: weird problem: can't send to multiple recipients?

[Charles Ying <cying@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Which version of PO are you using? I and others had this problem way 
back and folklore from this list was that it has something to do with 
the new POP before SMTP feature added by Tenon to the software.com 
code. I think my symptoms diminished to a manageable level (i.e. I 
can convince my users that they were seeing things when they try to 
complain to me) sometime near the 717 release.

These days, there are so many ways you can point fingers ("Your spam 
filter must have trapped that message!") that Tenon is working on 
giving us SMTP Auth so we can turn off POP before SMTP, I think.

I still get my SMTP server stuck so it won't send mail. When that 
happens, I don't even bother to check it. Just reboot like the old 
Webstar 4 days. The good thing is that when your smtp server is 
stuck, you get called by users almost instantly. "Why can't I send 
mail?"
