[ubuntu-za] Axxess smtp issues on Ubuntu

[Wikus]

Evening all,

Is there anybody that have axxess as ISP and use Thunderbird ?
I have constant issues with sending mail where the smtp just hangs.
According to them nothing is wrong , so now I wonder , is it a software 
thing maybe ?
Ubuntu or Thunderbird causing the issues ?

It would work perfectly and then the next moment just hangs. And this 
happens on two seperate laptops , on
two seperate networks on two seperate adsl lines. So the hardware , adsl 
line , router etc. is not to blame.
