Hi, I've checked what you just wrote and indeed, the ISP seems to be blocking outgoing connections to port 25 [other than to it own smtp server] So this would mean that there is no way for my server to connect to any other none-ISP server for relaying? Btw: Thanks for the quick replies. Best Regards, Dominique De Rijcke Project manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
