Re: I can receive email but not send email



Can you PING the SMTP server from your machine (type in PING <SMTP server
name> in a command prompt window)? If so, try temporarily turning off the
firewall to see if things work. It could be that port 110 is open for
receiving mail but port 25 isn't open for sending mail.
