I'm just throwing it out there because things don't generally break on their own. Malware, stupid , malware because it doesn't accomplish anything but alas, not all evil people are after something. Things to do: Run a full scan with Malwarebytes (free). Run a full scan with RogueKiller (free) If those don't help then: Have them open outlook in safe mode and try it (would eliminate add-in problems - and yes everyone has outlook add ins, whether they know it or not :-) Still no then: Have them create a new temporary windows user account and set up a temporary outlook account (that doesn't delete messages from the server) and see if it works from there. (would eliminate registry or other system corruption. -----Original Message----- From: dba-office-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-office-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 9:11 AM To: dba-office at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [Dba-office] Network not sending emails out of network Here's a curious problem from a reader -- I don't think this is an Outlook problem at all, but thought I'd ask around. Thanks for any potential insight! -- Susan H. Dear Susan, 2 computers: 1 Dell desktop running Vista HP & Office 2007 1 Dell Laptop running Windows 7 & Office 2010 1 ISP: Comcast Broadband Problem: I have used Outlook for many years, both at work & home & love it. Up until about 2 months ago, I have had no problems at all sending or receiving from either computer via our Comcast accounts, as well as GMail. For some reason, I discovered the hard way that, while I'm receiving about everything that is sent to me, I can no longer send to any email address other than within my own network. I cannot even send to my own GMail account. I've spent hours wt Comcast, bottom line: verified that I am able to send & receive WITHIN my own accounts, but nothing outside Comcast. I have followed a variety of directions, usually after searching boards for help, as to how to configure Outlook properly for my situation and each computer, again wt no improvement. I'm baffled. For everything to have worked fine for years, and then all of a sudden, to have lost 1 side of the equation--just doesn't add up! Any comments, questions or suggestions are readily welcomed! Thanks for whatever help you can provide! (by the way, the Cc address above is our primary Comcast account address) _______________________________________________ Dba-office mailing list Dba-office at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-office
