Eudora - Connection Closed By Foreign Host
 

I am using Eudora 7.1.0.9 Paid Mode. Everything was working great until this morning. I can receive mail but when I send mail it doesn't go and I get the following message.

"Error reading from network. Cause: Connection closed by foreign host"

I checked everything I think of and I don't know what the problem is. I have Eudora running on another PC and I can send mail fine with the same mail settings so it looks like my trouble is machine specific.

Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks!

My guess is either that you have some security software (Norton, McAfee, etc.) running on your PC which is closing this connection, or you have an error in your SMTP server settings (server name, user name, password, etc.).

Could you send mail prior to this morning? Or is it just today?

Is the other PC on the same ethernet connection (ISP)?

Yes, I could send mail previous to this morning and the other PC is on the same ISP connection through my Netgear router.

This problem has gone away as of late this afternoon. I don't have a clue why is happened and why it fixed itself.

Thanks for your help though.
