Re: Can not Send Email from a Bellsouth Account

I am unable to send E-mail thru Bellsouth although up until a few weeks ago I
could. I've contacted Bellsouth Tech Support twice and the last Tech person
told me to use my regular e-mail. I am getting this error: Subject 'Test',
Account: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC19

Can you help me? Thanks

In that case (away from home), what you experienced is normal. As a
general rule, the owner of the SMTP server you are using must be the
same as the one providing your Internet connection at that moment.
For more on this issue see
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Port_25_Blocking.aspx

The available workarounds when sending away from home are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask your home ISP if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP. I don't think
Bellsouth does.
3. If you use the same away-from-home connection frequently, substitute the SMTP
server belonging to that connection. This is a bit tricky, but if you want to go that route,
I can provide more details.
4. If you frequently send from multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
configure it for POP access, and use it for your sending chores.
Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked like port 25 is.

I was attempting to send email from my laptop away from home. What is the
difference? Will I have to change my mail settings when using my laptop at
home versus when I use my laptop away from home. I recently got this laptop
and was planning to use the laptop as my main computer and get rid of my
desktop computer at home.

When you got that error, were you sending from home, or on a laptop
away from home?

I unchecked that option, but still getting the below error. Any other
suggestions?

"The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Re: Testing', Account:
'mail.bellsouth.net', Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E"

That server doesn't use the SSL option. Uncheck that option.

I also have a bellsouth email account that AT&T took over and ever since
then, I seem to have problems sending emails out. I can receive emails fine,
but get errors whenever I try to send emails. I recently got a laptop with
Windows Vista home premium and was setting up my email account to use Windows
mail. I setup the incoming server and outgoing server to mail.bellsouth.net
as directed by AT&T technical help, but still get the below error. They said
I may have to contact microsoft help support. Can you help me? I think I
need to change the port number, but I don't know what to. I'm desperate!
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
