Hi Mike, for a long time I had problems sending on port 25, authentication errors etc etc.
So for the hell of it , I called my service providers (in Canada) The two largest service providers , " always" block port 25, regardless, unless you are a business and have a static IP address. So I had to either fork out more cash or change to port 587. No brainer. That may also be your issue. Just a thought. madmac On 2011-09-08, at 2:57 PM, Mike Tirpak wrote: > Thats why I'm so confused.
