Sending emails through a different router

So you're using Demon's mail server(s) to send mail that normally sends fine from your Demon ADSL using the SMTP authentication details Demon tell you to use?

Should work fine, unless your client's doing something odd. The only thing that might be worth trying is switching SSL on since it seems you're not already.

Indeed, at home everything works fine, I can send an receive with most default settings (ie ports etc)...

However here, I can receive messages fine using the demon pop3 address...But sending just will not work whatever I try...

The SLL option...If I tick that in outlook express, it greys out the option to type in a port manually....Which it then throws back a fault message.

The only time I do not get a fault message is when I try and use port 465 with no SSL enabled.

Cheers for replying btw :)
 
Port 587 is connecting as it's telling you to authenticate, port 465 is timing out as it can't connect - BT have probably blocked that too then. Sound like your username and/or password (which will be your Demon username/password) are set incorrectly in Outlook.

If you specify the BT SMTP server and authenticate it may still not relay your domain as it's not one of theirs.

Hm, yeah just had a thought....some reason I thought that when I click the SSL option it blanks the port number out, but it just resets it to 25...then I can change it back to 587...

I did the above, and it asked for my auth details, so I'm going to play again.

I'm just confused on what it's asking password wise though...as I have two....one for the 'dial up' to demon, and the other as a logon for outlook or something and web mail etc....
 
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite!.............









Sorted it! :)

Using the SMTP setting from Demon, with port 587 and SSL enabled...And my auth settings for my broadband :)

It was me being a douchebag basically concerning the SSL setting, so thanks for the initial link Daegan, and thanks to all who helped and pointed me in the correct direction.

Cheers :)
