Solve : Firewalling myself in? All of a sudden...?

Answer»

All of a sudden my Outlook Express can't send messages. I didn't intentionally change any settings.

I use OE 6 with AOL (IMAP, not POP3).

I have discovered that if I turn OFF my firewall (Kerio Personal 2.1.5), the outgoing message GOES through.

This has only started happening in the last 24 hours.

I get the Socket Error 10053 and other error number 0x800CCC0F. Googling that points me to my AV (AVG), but turning Kerio on and off seems to be what gets results. Turning AVG on and off doesn't seem to make a difference.

I have Outlook Express configured in KPF to any protocol, any port, any direction...

System Restore hasn't helped, either.

What's gigging?

what spyware and av do u have??

reply and ill try to help

and some specs on your machine os??unlovedwarrior.....  LOL , please read the post before you start asking questions ........ The poster is using AVG as anti virus and Kerio Personal 2.1.5 as the firewall .  

His issue appears to be with the firewall SETUP ........ outgoing messages are  being blocked .

so he just needs to go into the configureation, go to outbond and make outlook unblocked...

or something on those LINES i never used that firewall before.
i use zonealarmRight... But here's the confounding part:

So, outbound, inbound, all about the town... It's all allowed. (And MSIMN.EXE, too).

Thinking somehow that had been corrupted, I deleted OE from KPF so it would "catch" it next time it ran and allow me to reconfigure... It did, and it's "allowed"... But it's not happening.
 rjbinney.....  Have you tried uninstalling Kerio and reinstalling it just to be certain the issue isn't with it ?
Another thought , did you get any updates from M/S just before the issue showed up ?

Thought about it, but thought I would do that as a last resort... You know, having to retrain it for everything is gonna be a pain (not as much as not sending mail, but still...)

I DID. But I also used System Restore to roll back past them to see if that would help, and it didn't. I may try rolling back farther?

It's also been suggested that I allow KPF to use Port 587 (the AOL outgoing port) for ALL applications - that it may be confused about where the request hails.

I can't quite figure out how to do that.

I haven't done a reinstall yet, waiting to get Who tickets online - can't jeopardize fouling up the machine!The Who is far more important than configuring a firewall... Tenth row, opening night.


Anyway, the problem seemed to go away for awhile - apparrently on its own as it didn't line up with any of my attempted fixes.

Then it came back.

So I uninstalled KPF (which I really did like) and installed Zone Alarm's free version. So far so good. We'll see...

Thanks all for the help.
