Bought SMTP host can't connect

I bought a webdomain from BioHost.info I wanted to use the smtp to send emails, but when I try to do a test it says:

Quote:
Unable to connect to mail server(s). Please specify a valid mail server, server properties, or check your network connection.

I tried countless times with port 25, 576, 465, 443, and others but all the same. Tried with SSL on/off

Then I tried to remote control my friend's computer (other country) I tried with same program same configurations and the connection was ok!

I opened my router and opened port 25 and rebooted twice, still gives me same error

My provider's smtp works just great "smtp.mail.dk" what can this be? It also happened with my friend which is from the US!

Re: Bought SMTP host can't connect

How exactly are you attempting to connect to the server?

C:\>telnet ns1.watchundergrads.com 25
220-ns1.watchundergrads.com ESMTP Exim 4.69 #1 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:49:03 -0400
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.
helo
250 ns1.watchundergrads.com Hello
quit
221 ns1.watchundergrads.com closing connection


Connection to host lost.

C:\>


As you can see it is responding on port 25. Is the problem still ocurring?

Re: Bought SMTP host can't connect

Did you open the port to your computer's IP address?
