Gary, Some band width providers will block socket 25 as a measure to cut down on spam. When you receive mail, that goes through another service (POP3 is the most common) which is on a different port (110 for POP). This can explain why you are able to receive, but not send. The way to test this is to do the following in a terminal session (command prompt on Windoze):
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 The SMTP server name is the one you set up for outgoing mail on your [EMAIL PROTECTED] email account and '25' specifies the SMTP socket. If the connection times out, then socket 25 is being blocked. If you get a telnet session (it should start "220 <SMTP Server name>...) then you have a different problem. Additionally, if this is the problem, then you should not be able to send to any email address, not just this list. Having said that, I also have Verizon at home and it is not blocking socket 25 for me. Regards, Eric I set up an account for this list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - through my host, but couldn't reply to the confirmation email from Thunderbird on Linux at home. It would send, and go into my outbox, but nothing would ever come of it. I had to click through to the site (from Thunderbird), and confirm it there. I then couldn't send, nor reply to any message ever from Thunderbird, though I tried several times to do both over the past few weeks, hoping it would finally take. It would, however, always let me send, and reply from the web interface. I'm not sure why, as it's the same account - just a different interface on my end, and a different outbound server (verizon at home / probably my host - hostrocket - at work). Thunderbird was receiving every list message, including the ones I'd sent through the web interface. Every message sent through the web version always made it, and promptly. Clearly, the Verizon server's version of my mail was just being dropped, probably by the list, as I've not had that problem sending mail anywhere else, and have for years now, including to about 5 other list serves. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention this, with details, in case anyone in here has power over these things. Maybe it's just a flipped switch, or someone's chair is on the internet cable ;) Also, a big thanks to Gene Heskett for answering my RTAPI error question from last night. I forgot about my mail troubles, and downloaded the messages into Thunderbird this morning, and of course, can't reply to that one now from in there. It would seem I can use this new Gmail address from now on, so I'm moving to this account, and dumping the cnc@ address from my host. I use Gmail daily anyway, so it's not a big deal, but it's frustrating that I can't use any personal email through my own server. I may have more questions about RTAPI issues, but I'll start a new thread with this address should it come to that. Thanks again. -Gary ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
