Hey all

I'm at my parents' house, where they have an airport network. I can't send messages out using Mail from two different computers. I get this error:

"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.

The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."

Any ideas why?

Sometimes smtp.mac.com will time out. . . just add your parent's ISP's SMTP server to your SMTP list in mail and it will work.
