SMTP Server problem

[old john]

Incoming email from my website is redirected to my idnet.com address. For several years, I have been happily replying from john@mydomain.co.uk by way of the idnet SMTP server using Outlook Express.

Can anyone explain why I am suddenly getting the following error when I try to send messages?

The connection to the server has failed. Server: 'smtp.idnet.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

Outgoing mail from my idnet.com address is fine.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Let me just do some checking and I'll be right back.

This may be the problem from Idnet Status page: -

Network Status
2010-05-31 15:03: There seems to be a power issue in Telecity as our hosted-mail server is off-line. Support are investigating.

Rik do IDNet block port 25? If so the others are 465 587

No as far as I know, Steve. I've used IDNet's outgoing server for other domains before now.

Hi Ray

Many thanks. I must have checked the status page just before the message was posted. Thanks to everyone else for the prompt responses.
