Norton Internet Security 2005 & PE

[Randall]

Well, PE was working fine until I installed Norton Internet Security 2005 on my Win 2000 Pro machine with DSL.

I am using GMail pop3. I can receive, but I cannot send. I can use the same PE at work and I can do both so I know it's my home machine. I am not using Gmail smtp. I use a smtp.ucdavis.edu (my work smtp). However if I could use the Gmail smtp, that would be great.

I am guessing I need to open a port or... I am new to firewalls, etc., so I need some help.

Thanks

Hi Randall,

I think you need to get in touch with Symantec Support.
Have a look at the Product Support.

However if I could use the Gmail smtp, that would be great.

The new upcoming major upgrade of Poco/Barca can send through Gmail.

I am guessing I need to open a port or... I am new to firewalls, etc., so I need some help.

It's been a long time since I used NIS, so I don't know how you can open a port.
Didn't NIS ask to make a connection when sending mail?

Sorry, can't help much more here.

When is the new release due?

When is the new release due?

Soon.

Turns out it was an issue with SBC DSL, not Norton (both installed on the same day). I was using the gmail smtp when I needed to use the SBC smtp address. Of course, SBC Help was hopeless and I only found out when talking with a fellow worker who had had the same problem.

Working great again...lovin' pocomail again.

Thanks.
