I can look up some commands you can modify and try tomorrow
to test for this exact condition.
Try the following (first part) at your ISP using the proper
smtp server name.
Try the following at your e-mail host using the proper
smtp server name.
For the second one to work, they need to support
that port and you need to know the number*...
Telnet needs to be a service running on your local machine...
(Sometimes it will be disabled for security.)
To run these commands on Windows,
click on the Windows Start button,
choose the Run option and type in
the command and click the OK button
to execute (run each command separately).
On UNIX, simply run the command if telnet
is in your PATH, on MAC, you need to
configure a Telnet profile for each
command and run the profile.
telnet sendmail.theDOMAIN 25
(this should fail - that is why you are here)
If it works, they do not block port 25
try:
telnet sendmail.theDOMAIN XXX*
where XXX* would be the higher port number
(this should connect as long as there are no connectivity problems)
This is simpler than it looks...
try this
click on the Windows Start button,
choose the Run option and type in cmd
then type in (or do a DOS copy and paste)
telnet smtp.gmail.com 400
(this should fail, and give you a telnet on-screen error.)
then do:
telnet smtp.gmail.com 465
after a couple seconds you should have a blank telnet screen
with a blinking cursor... (No failure message, but no reply)
