Slingshot Email Problem

Seems I can't send anything other than text emails. I've tried sending
attachments several times today, only to get server time out messages.
I'm sure the problem isn't at my end, as I sent the 2 emails away on my ihug
account without a problem. Can't even send a test attachment on Slingshot,
it would start very slow then completely stop. I've had large emails come
in easy enough (these are all well under 1 MB).

Be good to know is others on Slingshot have the same problem.

Cheers,
E. Scrooge

Thanks, John.
I'm pleased to say that after a frustrating time double checking settings
compared to my ihug settings. The problem was all at my end. The Athlon PC
didn't have a problem, but this PC still did.
Turned out to be in the configuration of the modem for Slingshot. The
"control flow and hardware boxes" were unchecked. I probably fiddled with
them a few months back when Slingshot had connection problems. Never sent
any larger than text emails since then. It never affected downloads or
incoming emails, only the emails I was trying to send out.

Cheers,
E. Scrooge
