Hi

I have a typical problem on Windows XP SP2 build 2149.

I have program which send emails. It connects to port 25 on SMTP and send
emails.

Now when I try to connect to the SMTP server it does not connects.
Everything goes fine until the connect API fails. So I tried connecting with
Telnet and it gave connection failed. I think machine is blocking port 25.
Outlook Express is able to send emails and Windows Firewall is turned off.

Program is working properly on Windows XP sp1 and Windows ME w/out any
changes.

Is there some new API. I searched a lot for this in MSDN but can't find any
straight forward method to allow me to connect on port 25.

Regards
