email client

I am having problems sending mail. i have tried both thunderbird and eudora, and both give me an SMTP error. account settings are ok.

i am running XP home. and connected to a LAN.

Re: email client

DO you need SPA ? secure password authentication ? see if thats enabeled.

Re: email client

What SMTP error? you have a error code ? or is it just authentication error?

also try Outlook express..

Re: email client

tried outlook too, i can receive mail. but not send it.

here's the error i get on outlook:-
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'mail.wayne.edu', Server: 'smtp.wayne.edu', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 Mail from 68.42.79.144 refused, see RBL server dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC6F

Re: email client

seems like it has problems connecting to it ? do you have an IT support desk in your university ?

Re: email client

yup, unn ko contact karna aakhri option hay :D. what’s surprising is i have installed eudora many times at work, and it has never given this option. maybe i need to change router settings.

Re: email client

dude... maybe your University doesn't support outgoing mail from the same server - the IT helpdesk will prolly tell you to use your ISP's SMTP server as the outgoing one. You can setup any SMTP server on your wayne.edu email address.

Re: email client

a change of the nature of the problem. when i use my comcast cable, i can’t send mail. but, when i use my resnet i can send mail through thunderbird, eudora, and outlook.

Re: email client

ok, problem solved. thanks a lot :flower1:. i setup smtp.comcast.net as my smtp server and it is now sending and receiving mail withouth any problems. thanks a lot.
