There seems to be a lot of people testing mail setups lately so here is a wee trick I use to test mail servers, clients whatever...
Send an email to an address you are sure does not exist and not on the ISP you are connected to the Internet with. This will test pretty much everything required for mail to work: smtp and pop3 settings, MX records, relaying... For example if your ISP is Clear send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it should bounce back within a minute saying this account does not exist. This is a good thing and means all your settings are correct. -----Original Message----- From: Slosh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 10 February 2003 10:26 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ignore just checking my mailbox setup.
