Re: Not your normal "can't send mail" help request

Replies appreciated.

Answer #1. No--the server does not require authentication. Some of the other
accounts I used for test did but the result was the same. I can also Telnet
this server.

Answer#2
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'fast4', Server: 'smtp.fast4.net',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Cannot connect to SMTP server
84.45.23.4 (84.45.23.4:25), connect error 10051', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No,
Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67

Hi Guys---This one has beaten me.
A friend gave me her PC to "sort out" . She never had an ISP so I
registered for one---no problem here using dial up account via modem.
After
setting up OE mail accounts I did a test send/receive. The receive was ok
but it would not send mail giving me the usual port 25 smtp message
"SMTP,
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10051, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E."
I know this ISP well and it DOES NOT block port 25. I used the ISP's
correct smtp server settings. I can ping the server. I even set up this
account on my own two PCs' and sent mail ok. I set up some other mail
accounts that I have and all of these recieved but would not send when
connected to the correct ISP's Having Googled for an hour or so I decided
to try a different approach. By the way I removed all AV and AS and
stopped
the firewall (Windows XP Pro used). I removed the hard drive and put in a
blank formatted one then installed XP Pro on it. Once up and running I
opened up OE and set up the connections and mail accounts and tried again
to send mail. SAME problem can receive but not send through any ISP
connections. So, the only common thing is the hardware such as MOBO etc. I
installed a port reader and watched the events when trying to send the e
mail and the port 25 was opened and smtp server contacted. NETSTAT also
verified that port 25 had "sync sent".
Any one out there with any ideas where to look or what could possibly be
wrong before I install a new MOBO. I have unstalled many many systems but
this one has me stumped.
