Hi,

For no reason that I can spot the oContext:sendMail routine has suddenly 
stopped working.  I've checked to make sure that no-one has altered the 
email server settings (exchange) and they seem OK.  It's set to accept with 
no authentication. I simply do not get any emails through.  Nothing has 
changed in the code either.

Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Regards

Jeremy

Have you checked your anti-virus software is not blocking SMTP?
This happened to me recently.

Could well be.  I'll check it out.

Thanks

I would do it the "low level" way by installing Wireshark and looking at
the conversation between the application an the mail server.

Thanks Thomas, but it's all fixed.  It was indeed the anti-virus software 
blocking the emails.
