[Nfb-web] Outlook Express and Mail Servers

[Wunder, Gary]

Hi Joe. If you are logged into a server different from the one run by
your email, they often will assign specific ports or even different smtp
addresses you are to use. If, for example, I use Earthlink and dial into
it directly. My smtp address is smtp.earthlink.net. If I try to send a
message to Earthlink from my home cable provider or my work address, the
smtp address is smtpauth.earthlink.net. Port numbers are also different.
I won't say what they are here for that may well be part of Earthlink's
security, but check with your email providers and see if they have
different verification procedures for coming from outside their servers.

Hello everyone,

    Please forgive the cross-post and repeated need for help.  I swear I
ask 
more questions than anyone else combined, but your expertise always
makes me 
that much more productive.

    I have tried setting up different e-mail identities to separate mail
for 
both my jobs and the NFB.  I seem to be receiving mail alright, but I
cannot 
send mail out.  I get an error message saying the connection with the
server 
has failed, error number 10,060.  I've tried researching this error
number 
on the Internet but have not been able to come up with anything
conclusive. 
Is there something I am setting up incorrectly with my incoming or
outgoing 
ports?  Does my router have anything to do with anything?  Only my GMail

account works fine in both directions.

    Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

          Joe Orozco
