I have just checked with our IT department and our server runs MS Exchange as an SMTP relay on our internal network. I should be able to connect directly to it without going outside of our internal network so no firewalls to worry about etc... But no. Won't connect even if I use the the direct IP address of the server. Neither does telnet. The packet sniffer doesn't see any frames sent or received. The software fails before it tries to send any frames to anything. Can someone give me some idea of the order of a events in the code so I can follow it through to see if I can pinpoint where the problem is.

Did you tryed on port 'smtp' ? The intention of such a test is to see if the route is ok from that machine till the endpoint. --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Friday, June 16, 2006, 14:00, Lord, Chris wrote: > Wilfred, > Outlook Express can send mail using the same server settings from the > same machine yet all I get is a connect error message.
