Hi Mac,
In your Mail > Preferences > Accounts (Westnet POP) > Advanced
you should have Port 110
In your Mail > Preferences > Accounts (Westnet POP) > Account
Information >
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) mail or mailr.westnet.com.au
click 'server Settings'
this is where you should have Port 25 (not in advanced)
Are you using iPass with westNet's Global roaming?
Westnet's 'Access Control' blocks port 25 (TCP) outgoing except to
WestNet
Mail Servers.
If you have to disable this you can in To enable or disable Access
Control on your account.
Westnet strongly advise you not to unless you are having problems.
1. Log into the My Account page with your Westnet username and password.
2. In the 'Services' section, click the 'Access Control' link. You
will be presented with a list of ports currently being blocked.
3. At the bottom of the page, select whether you would like to block
(enable) or allow (disable) access to the above ports.
4. Click the 'Submit' button.
Please note: Once you have enabled or disabled Access Control, you
will be disconnected from the Internet.
