Can receive but can't send

Dr. Neko · January 8th, 2008, 1:47 AM

Hello,
I've been using Thunderbird as my mail client. I've been able to receive mail perfectly, but I can't send any mail. Below is how I set my account:
Account name: webmaster+domain.com

E-mail address: webmaster

domain.com
Server Type: POP Mail Server
Server Name: mail.domain.com
Port: 110
Security Setting: Never (can I set it secured?)

Outgoing Server (SMTP)
Description: domain.com
Server name: mail.domain.com
Port: 25
Username: username1
Secure connection: None

I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

I don't know for sure if OOL blocks access to outgoing connections on port 25, but you may be able to fix this by simply changing your SMTP port from 25 to 26. Give that a try and let us know if that fixes it.

Hello,
I've tried port 26 and got the same result. I remember having this issue a long time ago, and resolved it by changing the port to a different number. However, after my computer crashed, I forgot to write down the port number.

Hmmm. Weird. What server are you on / what is your domain name?

Dr. Neko · January 8th, 2008, 1:39 PM

My domain name is drneko.com. Thank you.

Okay, try port 26 now!

Dr. Neko · January 8th, 2008, 2:03 PM

I'll let you know if it works when I return home within 5 hours from now. Thank you.

No problem.

Sorry for getting back to you later than expected (work related), but I've tried it out and it works! Thanks!
