Re: [PHP] Port Block
You could do a hackish work around and write a small server program that is hosted off your computer, maybe on a friend's host/server. Then, you could have your application on your local machine open some other port to connect to the off-site server, and have it send the email data to that server, and have the off site server send the emails. It's a mean, hackish work around, but if your host wont unblock port 25, you don't have many options short of finding a new ISP. - Craige -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] Port Block
I used to use mailenable to send e-mails from a site hosted on my computer, to email anyone. Now my ISP blocked port 25 so I can't connect directly to any smtp servers like google to send e-mail directly from my computer. Does anyone know of an open SMTP server which doesn't use port 25?

Perhaps you could talk to gmail or google and find out how they've solved this problem for their other million users... Or, rather, search their sites for the answer, since it almost for sure has to be there. -- Some people have a gift link here. Know what I want?

In my experience ISPs do this to force you to use their SMTP server so they can keep an eye on what you are doing. If that is the case all you need to do is find out what their SMTP server details are and set up your machine to send all mail through that. If that is not the case, and your ISP has actually completely blocked outgoing connections on port 25, I suggest you find a new ISP. -Stut -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
