Help needed with iPages 08

2010-07-07 Thread Bill Parker


Folks,


I am trying to generate CD labels using iPages 08.   Does anyone know  
if there is a ready made template for AVERY J8676 or 7676.  It would  
save me pulling hair and teeth using the relevant Word template.

Re: iPhone sending email on telstra

2010-07-07 Thread Paul van der Mey

Hi Alex

I'm on 3G with Telstra.
My ISP and e-mail account are with TPG.

Initially had no joy sending e-mail via the iPhone when on 3G.

I used my e-mail account set-up in Mail to test the settings I needed based on 
what TPG said I would need, including alternate Ports.

Found that my user name required the full e-mail (@tpg.com.au) to work with 
SSL turned on.
When I got it working I then transferred the details to the iPhone and it 
worked.

Using authentication also allowed my wife to send e-mail from her MacBook when 
connected to the internet at her work. Without the SSL/Authentication she could 
not send e-mail when connected to the internet at her work.

The connection I make is that when connected at home via ADSL TPG knows that 
authentication is not required because of the physical link / direct connection 
to my ISP. When attempting to e-mail from another location on the internet 
(indirect connection to my ISP by IP address or 3G) the access is blocked by 
TPG in an attempt to stop unauthorised use of my e-mail account. So for me it 
was not a Telstra/3G issue in any way, shape or form. My ISP provided enough 
information by using my log-in details and information in their help pages to 
sort this out (server/host name, alternate port numbers).

Also have:
 - the TPG outgoing server set as the primary SMTP server
 - SSL turned on for incoming messages (Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars 
-> Accounts  -> Advanced -> Incoming Settings )

Thank you

 emails out while on the Telstra network via my iPad and the only outgoing

Re: iPhone sending email on telstra

2010-07-07 Thread Alexander Hartner

Hi all,

Thanks for all your help and great information. I am also using SMTP 
authentication on port 25 with TSL/SSL on, but I am not able to send any 
messages neither from my iPad nor my iPhone. Both these are connected to 
telstra. Happy to hear that VF has the same issue so I won't try them. Also 
both these are on pay as you go. If I had to be "business packages" these might 
work.

I wil also try to speak to my local telstra dealer just to hear what they have 
to say. 

Alex

 Hi Ronni,
 
 If this measure is to prevent infected PC from pretending they are mail
 servers it will definitely not work. Why would a spammer route their 
 traffic
 through the invested user's ISP default mail gateway. They would simply
 delivery it directly to the intended final destination. The same goes for
 spammers. They would simply setup their own mail server. What they would 
 not
 do, is use a 3G service provider for this as wireless data is simply too
 expensive. So as far this measure only prevents me from send email via my
 own
 mail server while connected to my ISP's network. Also in some cases
 upgrading
 to what they call business packages does not offer this "feature"

 "BigPond Dialup Business have plans that allow mail servers to be setup

 The BP Business MegaPOP numbers do not block port 25 to allow customers to
 continue hosting their own mail servers.
 ...
 Telstra has only blocked port 25 for DHCP allocated IP's. If you use a
 static
 IP, port 25 is available."
 
 As seems to be the case it doesn't even require any form of authentication
 nor
 do they verify that the purported sender is in fact valid. This in itself 
 if
 far worth in my opinion as the alternative currently implemented. For
