Recent Sympatico mail problems?

[John McGregor]

Hi Folk,
       I have a friend that has been trying to send me some stuff, but 
he told me tonight that Sympatico has been erroring out with a message 
that says "relaying mail to mr.mcgregor-bJEeYj9oJeDQT0dZR+AlfA at public.gmane.org is not allowed" and 
then it goes on to say the usual drivel about checking the email address 
etc. Mt friend reports that he has had similar problems with other 
Rogers accounts. He also told me that he can receive mail with no 
problems and that the problem started this weekend. FWIW, he uses 
Thunderbird on Win XP. Has anybody here been experiencing problems of 
this sort recently with Sympatico?
I'd switch him to Ubuntu if I could, but unfortunately XP is already on 
the periphery of his no fly zone.

TIA

John
