Hello,

It seems that quite a few people have posted messages about multidrop not 'dropping' recently, but I have been unable to find an answer.

I have configured my system (v5.5) to use multidrop. Set the IP address of my hosts mail server in the 'Secondary mail server' box, entered a valid username and password, told it to check every 5 minutes regardless of the time (until I get it working), and told it to sort by default.

I'm definitely getting an internet connection, I've been on the BBC News site on a client machine. I can send e-mails out from the client to a hotmail address, I can even send e-mails from user1@hostname to user2 without any problems.

The bugs page on the e-smith had a couple of multidrop issues, I have followed their advice to no avail. I also downloaded and installed the updates (update1 and update2).

Does anybody have any advice? Would it help if I posted an extract from a log? If so, which one and what should I look out for?

Thank you for your help.

Chris
