One other thing to try is something I always do when setting up email for
someone. Do an "echo test", sending email to the sender's own email address.
What should happen is that the mail leaves the computer, goes off to the ISP's
mail server, then makes its way back in a few minutes, sometimes within second.
I would also disable any and all anti-virus software on the computer, especially
if it is Norton's 90-day trailware. Free AVG has the right price, does not
clutter up the computer, and does the anti-virus job as well as any other.
She used Norton on her old computer and is happy with it. (I've hinted
and hinted she could do better- I use AVG and Kerio) Gateway had her
shut it down totally, didn't make any difference. She's taking it in
today, hopefully the Geek Squad will find the problem. I"ll report back
if they do identify it.
As for Charter and spam, it's bloody awful. When I first signed up with
them, no spam at all. Have tried a few free anti-spam programs, but
found them to be unsatisfactory.
