I am experiencing a very interesting error message with Netscape Ver. 2.02 and Ver. 3.0b4 for FreeBSD after I installed a commercial firewall called BorderWare. What is funny about this situation is I don't have any problem with Netscape for Windows or NT.

The error message is "Netscape is out of memory. Try quitting some other applications or closing some windows." I got this error message as soon as I hit the "SEND" button on "Message Composition" window. But I don't have any problem with Netscape on Windows 3.1 or Windows NT. All the PC are on the same network. For the above PCs, the Outgoing SMTP server are all set to the same firewall machine.

I can retrieve mail without any problem, but I cannot send mail with Netscape for FreeBSD. I was having the same problem even before I installed the firewall; however, by booting my FreeBSD box, I could send mail without too much problem. Now, with the firewall in place, reboot doesn't fix my problem anymore.

Any idea?

Yours truly,
