Fine if you have a desire to call the numbers written on the pub toilet walls then :-)
I have always stuck with Voda for the slightly better coverage - it is on the only operater that works at my parents (top of Mendip / middle of Somerset) -----Original Message----- From: Rankin, James R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 April 2008 08:51 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Vodafone 3G-USB and SMTP servers I'll second that for T-Mobile's horrendous UK coverage. I used to have a phone with them, and the only place I could get any decent signal was the pub toilets. Since I switched to O2, no problems at all. -----Original Message----- From: Ames Matthew B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 April 2008 08:39 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Vodafone 3G-USB and SMTP servers Is coverage likely to be an issue? Where I live t-mobile is next to useless, where as vodafone is champs :-) Infact my lodger has a t-mobile phone, and it only works in about 2 places in the house! -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Marshall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 April 2008 08:32 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Vodafone 3G-USB and SMTP servers VPN isn't an option alas. AUTH SMTP is being used, and without the 3G connection it authorises fine. With it, it doesn't, or worse complains of too many connections. I'll move them over to t-mobile. Thanks for your help.

(Otherwise you'd be an open relay) In that case the auth required codes you're getting sound right. Are you using Exchange for mail? Or something else? Can you get the guys to VPN back to your network?

If Vodafone is forcing the use of their own mail servers, well.....errrrr....that's a bugger. We'd like to make the sales chaps use our own mail server in order to keep the archive correct. Can anyone think of a work around ?

We've just got 3 3g cards for laptops. No matter what mail server we try to use they all return either AUTHORISATION REQUIRED or TOO MANY CONNECTIONS. We've tried our own mail server here, sending via our mail filtering service, sending straight to client mail servers, our hosted PLESK mail server etc. All the same. Vodafone as usual are being as helpful as choco-teapots and giving us a standard response, but the problem only happens when using the Vodafone service. Using the T-Mobile equivalent works fine as does the wifi down the road, our office connections, home adsl lines etc. Pinging the mail servers comes back with the right IP, and tracerouting to the mail servers shows it's hitting the box. Anyone else seen the same thing? Olly The information contained in this E-Mail and any subsequent correspondence is private and is intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
