Thanks for the clarification. Im starting to think this is a 
missconfiguration at Bells end as the mail goes out with no error 
messages but never gets to the final end. This is really weird. All I 
can think of is that the Bell coordinates were recently changed from 
pop8.sympatico.ca to pophm,sympatico.ca when the account was upgraded to 
a premium account with Bell. On these accounts Yahoo handles all the 
mail for sympatico according to sympatico support people. If you test 
these you get the following;

PING pop8.sympatico.ca (206.47.199.33) 56(84) bytes of data.
$ ping pophm.sympatico.ca
PING pop.bc.hotmail.com (65.54.191.188) 56(84) bytes of data.

Is it possible that there is an account misconfiguration at Bell as this 
sympton started when the account was upgraded to premium?? Its about all 
I can think of at this time.

tks for you response
