Well smtp is on port 25 so try (from an xterm or equivalent) $ telnet mail.optusnet.com.au 25 you should get something like <snip> Translating "mail.optusnet.com.au"...domain server (139.130.4.4) [OK] Trying mail.optusnet.com.au (211.29.132.250, 25)... Open 220 mail18.syd.optusnet.com.au ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.11/8.12.11; Thu, 26 May 2005 14:47:28 +1000 </snip> which means it is listening for connections. If you are getting this then you should be able to send mail from evolution. Likewise to retrieve mail do a telnet to 110 which is pop3 $ telnet mail.optusnet.com.au 110 Trying mail.optusnet.com.au (211.29.132.250, 110)... Open +OK POP3 Ready mail16.syd.optusnet.com.au 0001e7e2 If these succeed you have done something wrong with evo. If they fail you have a lower layer problem (dns, firewall, routing etc...) -- James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
