Re: Windows Mail Error

Well, which one of the four workarounds I listed do you want to try and
implement? Did you call the web host for cktrucking.com and ask them if
they support a port other than '25' for SMTP? (587 is a typical alternate)

If you want to go for workaround #3:

Step 1: In Windows Mail go to Tools, Accounts, select your cktrucking.com
account, click Properties, Servers. Change the name of the outgoing (SMTP)
server to smtp.att.yahoo.com. Do not change the incoming server. Also,
make sure that the "My server requires authentication" option is checked.
Click the adjacent "Settings" button. Select "Log on using"
then enter your AT&T account email address, and the associated
password. Click OK.

Step 2. Go to the Advanced tab and change the port number for the
outgoing (SMTP) server to 465, and enable the associated SSL option.
Again, do not change any receiving parameters.
Click OK. Try sending. If you get an error message, right-click on your
error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.

Any help you can provide would be GREAT. I had a CK tech have remote access
and they too could not understand what the problem was. Everything is setup
EXACTLY the way we have it setup at the office.

Looks like you are running into a port 25 block.
What you experienced is normal. As a general rule, the owner of
the SMTP server you are using must be the same as the entity 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 are as follows:

1. Use webmail for sending (via your browser).
2. Ask the web host for cktrucking.com if they have a port other than '25' for SMTP.
3. Substitute the SMTP server belonging to your ISP. This is a bit tricky,
but if you want to go that route, I can provide more details. Since AT&T
uses an SMTP port other than '25', it will work from any location.

This better? I can tell you this, it has nothing to do with the ck mail, I
setup my mail the EXACT same way that I have it setup at work...they tell me
it's an AT&T issue, AT&T techs are just STUPID...I suppose I can only setup
the mail account that I have with them...I've changed ports, etc
etc...NOTHING works
