Hi Gang:
Thanks to Bill & George, we have been burning the wires and midnight oil
for the past week and a half.
All of a sudden, I could not send to ITTY.
Bill finally got it fixed yesterday.
Here is a sample of the info:
------------------------------------------
Many ISPs are blocking what is called "Port 25" which is the port used to
send e-mail. They are doing this to cut down on the amount of spam that is
sent from their networks.
All e-mail sent via the Internet is routed through the port 25, the
channel used for communication between an e-mail client and an e-mail server.
Even though port 25 blocking will probably become an industry standard,
however, the filter can create problems for e-mail servers and block legitimate
e-mail as well as spam.
Port 25 blocking allows ISPs to block spam sent out through their
networks, but it tends to punish the innocent that have a need to send through
e-mail servers other than those belonging to their ISP. The ISPs that block port
25 require their SMTP server to be used instead of the remote SMTP server
or a SMTP server running on your computer.
---------------------------------------------------
SOOOOOOO- instead of port 25, which was the "default", I now have to send
to port 593.
Don't ask--I don't know--just following orders! hi-hi
BTW, this is ONLY for the RTTY bulk mailer that is used on ITTY.
