If the user opens a dos box and types...
 
telnet  your.mailserver.com 25
 
(replacing your.mailserver.com with your actual address)
 
Does the person see your server welcome them. The reason I ask is that some networks will make outbound port 25 connections go to the ISPs mail server no matter what host you try to get to. AOL is one of those situations. If you dialup to AOL and you telnet to any host on port 25 then you end up on an AOL mail gateway.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Error sending with Outlook Express

One of my users can�t send any mail with OE.  He�s always getting this error :

 

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail1', Server: 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

 

I have look the MS Knoledge Base, the IpSwitch KB and the list archives without any results�  The user can send using the web interface.

 

Any chance this could be related to the Verisign certificat expiration of last week ?

 

We run Imail 8.05 with AV solution in a corporate environnement.  1 domain with 110 users on Active Directory.
