When I cc myself on emails, it doesn't send me an email. I'd really
appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!

Why do you need to CC yourself? If you keep a copy in sent items, it is the same thing.

It looks like your smtp is configured properly to send out outgoing
emails. May I suggest that you try to either cc or bcc yourself to your
free web based email account to confirm that your mails are indeed going
out.

I too like to bcc myself whenever I send out any emails but I always use
YAHOO or HOTMAIL account for such copies just to confirm that emails are
going out and that there are no problems at my end or at my ISP!

Umm if the mail appears in the Sent Items folder, I know of NO circumstances
where the ISPs smpt server has NOT received it....and that's in at LEAST 20
years of using email....

In TWENTY years of using email I have NEVER needed to do that - what a waste
of time and bandwidth!

But this does not mean that they have actually processed it and sent out
to its destination. I know of many cases where ISP failed to send out
emails because they had problems processing them due to lots of incoming
spam emails on their systems or simply hackers have taken over their
systems. For example, comcast was recently taken over by hackers for
several hours. Read all about it here:

Now if comcast can't keep themselves safe then what chance has smaller
ISPs have?

I've seen so few instances of that also in the last twenty years as to be
almost zero.....

No it is not waste of time and bandwidth. You deleted the link I
provided in which it was stated that COMCAST was hacked recently. Now
this can't be a waste of time or bandwidth. How long does it take to
insert a cc or bcc. This should be automatic for you since you were the
first person to use emails in 1988. We didn't have emails in 1988 and I
am not somewhere in Timbuktu!!

Well in that case you are the special one who faces no problems
whatsoever. I wonder if you have experienced the "complete life".
People get this thru difficulties and mistakes in life!
