Apparently, Telus blocks port 25. There was a long thread on this issue last fall sometime, if you search the archives. If I recall correctly, KMail gives you the choice of using port 25, 25, or 25 for outgoing mail over SMTP - which is why I don't use it with my Telus connection.

HTH,

ps My spellchecker wants to replace SMTP with SMUT...!!!  LOL

Hello Jarod,

I successfully did the following:

telnet smtp.telusplanet.net 25

and got:

Connection closed by foreign host.

I presume the connection was closed due to too long an inactivity, because I
tried it again and typed some text which was not a telnet command and had a
really tough time hanging up. I eventually did hang up by trying variations on
the escape character until I found one that worked.

Does that provide any clues as to what is happening?
