In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Mike MacNamara [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Yes as far as I can find out, the spam blockers they are using on port 25 are word specific, to the extent of becoming ludicrous.

Your ISP should be able to give you another smtp port no. The other simple way to beat it is to use an address that is OK, On an address that is afflicted, (on OE) goto accounts, select account, then servers, then at bottom of page, ' My server requires authentication' tick box, then click settings beside it, enter name and password for clear address. That will direct the SMTP through clear account. So if its Freeserve blocking, enter a freeserve account name and password. Umm ... life isn't it ... ? I suppose they will get it sorted, eventually. - Original Message - From: Malcolm Cadman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [ql-users] Email problems no blocking.

However, I discovered, that freeserve/Wanadoo, and others are blocking mail not from themselves. Solution change the SMTP port No from 25 to one that will get through, Regards Sorry I don't understand this. How do freeserve/Wanadoo block our mails? If we don't use them. How can we reach an SMTP server on a port other than 25? Jon. ___ QL-Users Mailing List

[ql-users] Email problems
Hi everybody on the list, I read about missing emails. Well, very strange things are going on. I ran several tests with Wolfgang Lenerz, for example, and only 3 of 4 mails from Bruce arrived at j-m-s.com Mails from some sources do not arrive at j-m-s.com at all, although they are whitelisted (they don't get through if no spam filter is active at all!). SOMETHING in the world wide web is filtering mails (or throwing them away) without notifying the sender. This is reproduceable in some cases, in other cases it is random. My provider has no clue either, but in the reproduceable cases the sending server refuses to connect to the receiving server. Fact is: it is unreliable and it is related to j-m-s.com (my main account). I would guess that due to the massive number of faked virus mails (I get the bounces, so I have an idea what is going on), j-m-s.com may be on some internal black lists (I checked all public lists, not listed in any!). Therefore, please send all mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the time being! If you have sent me mails during the last few weeks and you had no reply (which would be unusual, as I tend to reply very quickly) then please send it again, but to my .DE account!
