Can't send lycos mail through a vpn
A blast from the past! Lycos Mail was a popular email service back in the day, but it's no longer widely used today.
As for your issue, it's not uncommon for some email services to have trouble sending emails through a VPN (Virtual Private Network). Here are a few possible reasons why you might be experiencing this issue with Lycos Mail:
- Firewall or security settings: Your VPN might be blocking the outgoing connection to Lycos Mail's servers. Check your VPN's settings to see if there are any firewall or security rules that could be interfering with your email sending.
- DNS resolution: VPNs can sometimes affect DNS (Domain Name System) resolution, which is necessary for sending emails. Try using a DNS service like Google Public DNS or Cloudflare DNS to see if it resolves the issue.
- Email client configuration: Make sure your email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) is configured correctly to use your VPN's DNS settings. You might need to update your email client's settings to use the VPN's DNS servers.
- Lycos Mail's server configuration: It's possible that Lycos Mail's servers are blocking VPN traffic or have specific settings that prevent emails from being sent through a VPN. You can try contacting Lycos Mail's support team to see if they have any specific recommendations or workarounds.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:
- Disable your VPN and try sending an email through Lycos Mail to see if it works.
- Use a different email client or service to see if the issue is specific to Lycos Mail.
- Check your VPN's logs to see if there are any errors or issues related to email sending.
- Contact your VPN provider's support team to see if they have any specific recommendations or workarounds for sending emails through their service.
I hope this helps you resolve the issue!
