Many ISP's block port 25 to stop spam. port 587 is actually the official SMTP submission port nowadays, and any half decent ISP should have this enabled, so I suggest giving this a try. Port 2525 is also another common alternative that some ISP's have enabled.
However you have implied that it is your own mail server, in which case you can set it to use whatever ports you like, including the above, which are the default alternative port sin SmarterMail anyway, so you just need to enable them. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services & solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com : ColdFusion developer community www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344395 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
