Hi Raga,
Thanks for the reply.
I am actually behind a firewall/proxy server that only allows me to browse
the www, that means the proxy server have block all other ports except the
HTTP port. Thus there is no way i could open a connection to the external
mail server using the smtp protocol or port.
The only way of solving this, could be the use of http tunneling, to connect
to external mail server using Http protocol...sadly to me is that i have no
idea or experience of how this could be done..
regards,
soonyee
