Cut-off howling...

[desperance]

The server that hosts my sites and (more importantly) my e-mail went down a couple of times yesterday. Nothing calamitous, it came back up again - only since then I have been unable to send e-mails. Receiving them is fine, but every time I try to send anything I just get "Your SMTP server does not support PLAIN. Choose a different authentication method" error messages - which is just plain nonsense, of course it supports PLAIN, it's been doing it for years.

And my guru is on holiday, and I feel - oh, isolated. Cut off. Voiceless. Obviously there is an irony in that - oh look, right here - but the people I need to be talking to don't necessarily read LJ, for all that I think it should be compulsory. Gah!
