Can receieve emails but not send

Willski · September 3rd, 2008, 8:17 PM

Hey Guys and Girls,
Ive only recently set up my reseller account and I'm now creating some email addresses. However I seem to be able to receive emails but not send them.
Any idea's what I'm doing wrong? Do I have to change the outgoing port number from 25 to something else?

Cheers.

Your ISP may be blocking port 25. try using the outgoing address that your ISP provides, or try switching the pot to 26 (don't know if that is still used)

Thanks for the reply,
I checked my IPS outgoing port and it's 25. Still cant seem to send mail. I tried changing the outgoing port to 26 but had no luck. Any other idea's.

What worked for me in this case is to use my ISP's outgoing mail servers.

Or you can try a different port as I see you have tried. perhaps try a different port and make sure your router isn't blocking it outgoing as well if you have one.

Managed to get it working. My ISP gives me the option to unblock port 25 so i ticked that and then tested it again. It came up with a message about how its not sure if the server can be trusted, but the emails sent.
Although it works, should I be worried by this message about the sever being trusted? I'm using mail.mydomain.net as the outgoing address and port 25.

Cheers for the help.
