Email problem - SMTP

Rik · Nov 07, 2009, 17:41:37

Not when I spoke to Brian at lunchtime. Maybe some mail was lost when the server went down this morning?

I seem to have a related problem since Friday. Incoming mail from POP3 to my MS Outlook is ok, but outgoing mail to SMTP.idnet.com will not leave my MS Outlook outbox. Curiously, most of the time (but not always) the send/ receive progress report shows "successful", but messages don't go out. other times it shows error on send, with a problem identified with SMTP server.

I have made some configuration changes to outgoing smtps this morning.

Can people who are having problems sending mail via smtps please try again and PM me if you are still having problems.

I try to avoid major changes on a Friday but we had noticed a problem with the pop/imap server earlier in the week and wanted to get a replacement commissioned ASAP.

Thanks for the update Martin

Works now for me, thanks

Still wondering why email or web form weren't answered... I'm glad that the forum here helped though!

My SMTP back up and running this mrning. Many thanks.

Auth-SMTP working fine here now, Martin, thanks. Good result Friday, eh?

As far as I can tell the server is now working but as srbuk reported earlier the problems have left me with a pile of mail sitting in the Outbox apparently unsent. Newly created mail gets sent but the mail created at the end of last week just won't send

Do you have another account you could send it from. I find that, when that happens, switching servers (and often switching them back) works.

Martin

If you spot this, could you give the server clock a kick sometime, it's about 75 seconds fast.

My email is now working too.

Thanks

Martin's great with servers and he's a Leicester Tigers man, which makes him even better.

I could try that next time if there is a next time. I'm not too bothered about it now as everything appears to be working again
