I had this same problem starting a few days ago. Turns out, without telling any of its
customers, mindspring has stopped allowing access SMTP servers other than their own.
Your
server may work, mine did. Unfortunately, even if it does you'll never get to it
through
mindspring. If you telnet to port 25 of you server from mindspring there will be no
response.
For a little more informatio look at http://help.mindspring.com/modules/01400/01424.htm
Hope you haven't spent too long with this yet,
Ben
