Report: I am now at a public library with free wi-fi where previously my email would not go out. Using the Emailer "Port 587 with SMTP Auth" version which my ISP tech guy sent me, it goes out with no trouble. So if it's your hack, chalk up another one for Chris! We absolutley could not get along without you! You are keeping us low-power-users going! There probably was mention of this previously in the Digest, but if so, it went right over my head, since I did not need it at the time. I take it that this version is available on your site for all who need it. You probably said so sometime in the past, but it didn't make sense to me at the time. I didn't know Port from Starboard. Still have no idea what makes it work, but grateful that it does. >Yes, for spam control reasons, public access places often block port >25 outbound to prevent people from sending email (or more correctly, >to prevent infected machines connected to their system from spamming >people that traces back to their IP and gives them grief later for >something that had nothing really to do with). > >Port 587 is an alternate SMTP Submission port that is used to get >around such blocks, and more and more mail providers are supporting >use of that port. But isn't this same problem going to cause them to cut off Port 587 at some point?? Won't the spammers be going there to do their dirty work??
