Can't send mail

[MiekeS]

I can't send emails anymore.
I have checked with my ISP, searched websites etc. Have been told that the problem is on my end.
This is the error message I get.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'test', Account: 'pophm.sympatico.ca', Server: 'smtphm.sympatico.ca', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 1025, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
Can someone help? Mieke

You have the outgoing mail server port as 2025, which is probably not
correct. Try changing it to 25.
Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Advanced.

Which antivirus program are you running?

Thank you, but the setting is not 2025 but 25. It also has been set at 1025. I have checked and unchecked the SSL.

This is still the message I get. I have two email accounts.
The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: grant', Account: 'mail.gamiing.org (1)', Server: 'mail.gamiing.org', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): Yes, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Yes, correction, your previous error message had the port as 1025.
For a non-ISP server, port 25 is likely, but not SSL.

Since gamiing.org is not your ISP, your home ISP will block
your use of any port 25 SMTP server other than their own.
For an explanation of this policy, see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/P..._Blocking.aspx

To send from home, you will have to substitute your home ISP's
SMTP server. If you need help with that, let us know who your
home ISP is.

When I did a tracert on mail.gamiing.org, the connection
got lost after reaching a machine with the rather unusual
name:

toroonnzydroo.bb.telus.com.6.11.154.in-addr.arpa

I suspect that that machine has a DNS problem, which could
affect it's ability to pass on any messages that reach it.

That's not very definitive since quite a few servers are
configured not to respond to tracert or ping.
DNS will be good if the ping command at least returns
an IP address.

telnet mail.gamiing.org 25
is a better functional test (it responds), but only if your
ISP doesn't block port 25.
