LunarMagic Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 I'm on dialup for a few days while we stay in a hotel, and for some reason my email won't work. I use my laptop all the time anyways, so the email client (Eudora) hasn't been setup any differently than it usually is. I connect to the internet, I can reach all webpages, I can download my messages in email... but I can't send. It says "Could not connect to mail.lunardreams.net Cause: connection timed out (10060)" Well, I just tested my other domain, and apparently it's the same problem. *sighs* Any idea what could be causing this? It's not a big deal, we'll be back home to our nice LAN and cable internet soon, but this just puzzles me. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 My first guess would be that your ISP that you are using on your travels is blocking the port, and you will have to use their SMTP server for sending emails out. Andy Quote
TCH-Rick Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 What ISP are you using? Juno, NetZero, MindSpring, and Earthlink all block port 25 so sending is not possible unless you use their SMTP server. Quote
LunarMagic Posted July 30, 2003 Author Posted July 30, 2003 NetZero is what I'm on... and that would explain it. Wonder if it's even worth switching over for two days. Thanks for the info! Quote
leezard Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 (edited) i couldnt live without my e-mail for two days, its easy enough to change. just guessing I'd say that netzeros smtp server is either mail.netzero.com or smtp.netzero.com, only takes a minute to change it. i just checked, the outgoing server is smtp.netzero.com if you have trouble sending also the pop server is pop.netzero.com Edited July 30, 2003 by leezard Quote
