First off let me admit this could still be an internal network problem, BUT: Since about last Wednesday night I have sent a considerable number of email messages to people within HP and at Interex; i.e: [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] I got a bunch of email bounces to these locations; of the "timeout", "failure to connect", and "tried for three days and gave up" variety; also quite a few return receipts have not showed up. BUT: During the same period I have sent several messages to this discussion group, and to maybe 10-12 people in the U.S. and Canada that are NOT within the above two domains; on these all is well; I get my own and all other hp3000-L stuff pretty quick, and timely return receipts on other messages. Incoming email appears to be O.K. in general. I talked to John Sullivan at Interex; far as he could tell all was O.K. at their end; plus he could see our gateway (but it took a long time for him to get a response)........ So ?: Anybody else out there having any noticable problems sending Internet email to Interex and/or HP ? Just wondering.......... Thanks, Ken Sletten
