Hi Rohit....I thought you were not alowed to run internet servers on your home PC with Xtra? Atleast that was what they told me some time ago, and even Paradise made that comment to me at some stage when I was talking to one of their tech support guys, but then said...."its a stupid and we dont enforce it" and neither does TelstraClear...as I run a mailserver too :-)

For home users, outlook presumably sorts out the requirement of ssl. And business users are using mail servers so they have to use SSL explicitly. The problem is that there are many users that are businesses without a mail server and home users with a mailserver. They will have problems. Add to that if you application does not support SSL, then you are stuffed. At home, I run a mailserver called hamster. It suddenly stopped working, it was still receiving some emails (not all) but not sending any. I tried the webmail - that did not work with IE or Firefox. I read the old emails from xtra, found one with a url link which forced me to register for yahoo. A page in the middle of the registration told me to change the port numbers. I did that but still no luck. I had heard on the radio about business customers having problems, so I enabled SSL3 on hamster. Now the error message changed, but still no luck. Then I tried SSL2 and it burst into life. When I complained to the CEO, the reply was a link to their website - this one tells you to use SSL :-) Basically, they still treat their customers like shit and act like a monopoly. They only reason I have not changed as that I dont want to change my email address. I will just have to get a domain name for my emails.

I don't understand their reasoning but it IS Xtra we are talking about. What sort of w****ers change their smtp server address out of the blue and leave unskilled users out in the cold??
