Troubleshooting

Why can't I make a secure connection with Eudora?
There are some problems with Eudora's TLS/SSL. See the Eudora HowTo for some possible solutions.
Why can't I log-in/go-secure using Internet Explorer 5.1 on OSX?
Internet Explorer 5.1 running under OSX (Carbon, not Classic) has been reported to crash when trying to make a secure connection to Port995 (as requried to log in to your control panel). This problem does not affect other versions of Internet Explorer or other browsers such as Netscape, Mozilla or Omniweb. If you are browsing using a proxy server, see Microsoft's IE5.1 FAQ for a possible solution.
Why do I receive error messages when using the control panel in Opera?
Opera has a bug which causes it to incorrectly encode non-ASCII characters when sending them to the Port995 server. If you are trying to enter characters such as currency symbols (£, €), accented characters (é, ÿ), non-Roman characters (Њ, ל, ض, Σ, ザ) or special punctuation (“, ”, •), the result may be an invalid UTF-8 string which will cause the server to report an error.
Why does the Port995 site look odd after I fill out a form?
Versions of Internet Explorer from 5.0 through to 5.5 for Windows NT4.0 and Windows 2000 have a bug which is triggered by installing a download manager (such as GetRight, Go!Zilla or RealDownload). Affected browsers will not apply the Port995 stylesheet when you submit data from a form. Although the page will look strange, it is still usable and will be displayed correctly when refreshed. This affects the Port995 control panel, search engine and application form. Upgrading to Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 fixes this. Uninstalling the download manager may or may not fix this. See Microsoft's article on this for more details.
Why is my email getting rejected with "Syntax Error"?
If you are receiving bounce messages reporting that your emails could not be delivered due to a “syntax error”, it may be that your mail program is using a badly-formed sender address. Please see the mail program configuration HowTo for more details.
Why do I sometimes get the message relay access denied when sending emails from Outlook Express for the Macintosh?
In order to relay through our server, SMTP authentication is required in your mail program. Versions of Outlook Express for the Macintosh prior to version 5.01 do not support this feature at all. However, in addition to this, while the function is provided in versions newer than 5.01, the function is unreliable. Version 5.06 is the first version confirmed to be consistently functional, and if you are running a version older than 5.06 then you should upgrade to at least this version.
