| Question: I can download my email, but sending is
failing
The two
most common issues here are Authentication and port blocking.
First, check to see that you have the "My server requires
authentication" box checked on the Servers tab of the account properties
in Outlook or Outlook Express. Other mail clients
should have a similar setting.
Second, many ISP's block port 25 (SMTP) and require that you
use their SMTP server for sending email. This problem can be identified by
testing the following command via command line
(START-->RUN-->type "command"):
then at the prompt type: telnet
mail.yourdomain.com 25
A failure on this test indicates that, either you are behind a firewall
that has this port blocked, or your ISP is blocking the port. In this
case, you will need to contact your ISP to resolve this.
