Just an idea... I'm not a techie person, so please just take it as in idea.

My local cable company recently started blocking port 25 for outgoing email.

We have to use THEIR smtp ... it's a PITA but as I'm not a spammer, I don't really mind.

Could your ISP be blocking port 25?

:thumbsup: Hope you get it resolved and good luck!!

Actually, I think a few people on this forum have had to use the smtp of their ISP to send mail.

Heh, I don't doubt it... we must have sent a dozen tickets to our previous host before they suggested this little possibility.

*grr* :P

Was just trying to inject an element of calm as well... I'm on the same server and can send email without problem.

99% Chance that it is your ISP blocking port 25.

use your ISPs SMTP server, if they Blocked port 25 they will let you use this as a Proxy.
