from home on my shaw connection, but telus issues the following warning:
554 We do not accept messages with no From To or Subject headers
which, although kinda cool, does seem to do very little for cutting down on the
spam here at the office. FYI, For my consulting business we do a user check
and an rbl check before the data of the message is allowed. Cut down on our
mail bandwidth by 70% (most of the spam). Any false positives get bounced with
an error.
I suspect that there is a TLS/SSL or authentication mismatch. Either telus needs it and he is not configured to use it, or it is the other way around.
I use kontact (which uses kmail) and evolution and neither seems to be a problem
as I have accounts that require authentication (and TLS/SSL support) and some
that do not (shaw, telus, megamailservers.com, and my own). Both kmail and
evolution seem to handle all of them.
Also, it does not make sense that telus would block port 25. How do they expect
people to send email?
Cheers,
Gustin

Quoting Frank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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,
Frank ps My spellchecker wants to replace SMTP with SMUT...!!! LOL

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?
