Hi Leonardo,
Thanks for your response.
I have not used the SI switch - so the SMTP server is on port 25
The personal firewall that comes w/ XP is indeed on - don't know what I
should change when working from my friend's house, but next time I'm
over there I'll try turning it off and see if that helps.
I've tried using telnet, although not to "localhost" (which I believe
would attempt to connect to port 25 of the laptop, not my Xmail
server). When I'm connect to my home LAN, telnet to the Xmail server
works fine - when at my friend's house, it appears to connect however
it behaves very erratically thereafter.
"telnet localhost smtp" executed on the Xmail server connects fine.
Just tried running netstat on the laptop (connect to my home LAN) -
looks like I forgot to mention that the laptop runs XP in my original
post! The -lnt switches you've mentioned aren't apparently understood
by the Windows version of netstat. When I run netstat on my Xmail
server, it does indeed indicate that port 25 is being listened to, as
you'd indicated.
Yes, Thunderbird's SMTP server settings are correct. Works fine when
connected to my home LAN, doesn't work when I take it over to my
friend's place.
Thanks again for your help!
Larry
