Troubles with SMTP connection

miguelarl · 04-22-2006, 03:06 PM

Hi guys:
I have a little home network, I have access to internet trough wireless connection, everything is fine in this machine!! and share internet with another PC using Ethernet cable using CCProxy application.

Internet is ready on this second machine, also pop3 (I can dowload emails to outlook)!

The problem is that I can't not access to SMTP server, I found that my ISP blocks port 25 by security reasons, so I changed to 587 port, OK. Outlook Error screen says that SMTP is found but I can't send a test mail.

Does anybody have an idea for this trouble.

Thanks.
Miguel

How can your ISP block port 25 to their email server??? That makes no sense, don't they provide an email account?
