Could someone advise if I am look at outlook or server issues. I am using
OE6, via a dial up account, with an external mail server (my own website).
Checked in triple checked the coding (pop3/external mail address all correct).

(1) Normal emails send without issue. When I attach anything the email wont
send. I get a time out message relating to my dial up server (outgoing /
mail.optusnet.com.au) account. I then get the following message.

A time-out occurred while communicating with the server. Subject 'Fw:
Message bla bla.', Account: ', Server:
'mail.optusnet.com.au', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error
Number: 0x800CCC19

The limit for my dial up is 2MB but it rejects no matter what size the email
(eg: 50kb still rejects). Then the funny thing happens. It remains in
outlook, so I delete it. Nothing in sent items stating it's sent. Then
recipient gets up to 8 emails repeating the message apparently not sent.
Again this doesn't happen to plain text email, just the ones with any form of
attachment (wether that be an actual attachment, or non text in the main
section such as a chart or html). Coding re html / images etc all on.

Any suggestions.
