Jeff G. Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 They "know" that only MS-Windows, only IE6 and only OE6 are good for me. (Anything else is "unsupported" by their services.)27562[/snapback] Can you run the same tests with MS-Windows and OE6, and/or another SMTP Server from Jeff G.'s Hotspot SMTP-Auth Provider Status Report?

Jeff G. Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Deputies (at) spamcop.net or deputies (at) admin.spamcop.net ? (I'll send to both.) 27564[/snapback] Given your mail problems, I'd say both, with the headers and body in the body of your email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J.Mechelynck Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Given your mail problems, I'd say both, with the headers and body in the body of your email. 27566[/snapback] Hm, I sent it as attachment just before seeing this. If after a few hours it hasn't been answered, or if after "a reasonable time" (in minutes) it hasn't been received and you (or someone) tell me so, I'll send it again, pasted into the body.

Wazoo Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Deputies (at) spamcop.net or deputies (at) admin.spamcop.net ? (I'll send to both. They 'map' to the same e-mail InBox ... One is sufficient. Reading next post a bit later ... not sure I'd go with the 'attachment' scenario to them .. just an opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using OE6 is problematic since it would try to read and delete my POP mail and I like to keep all my mail in one place. I'll try to subscribe to one of the SMTP servers you list. It shouldn't then be hard to configure Thunderbird for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can read email from there by POP but I haven't yet succeeded to send by SMTP. It needs SMTP authentication. Currently it is set to: Outgoing server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk Port: 25 [x] Use name and password Name: a_j_mechelynck Use secure connection: (_)No (*)TLS if available (_)TLS (_)SSL If I don't succeed I might try Steve's suggestion to use OE6, possibly after a good night's sleep (it is 2:42 my time already).

A.J.Mechelynck Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Following a tip in Yahoo's response, I tried a little experiment: C:\>telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk 25 Connecting to smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk... Cannot establish connection with host, on port 25: Connection failed. IIUC, my ISP is blocking outgoing connections to third parties on the default SMTP port.

DavidT Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 IIUC, my ISP is blocking outgoing connections to third parties on the default SMTP port. Proably so...lots of ISPs are doing that now, in order to help stem the flow of uncontrolled junk from infected/zombied computers. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Bumping this topic to ask what peoples response time has been today? I have been busy all morning so did not report the overnight spam until this afternoon, but I still have not gotten any emails back and there is no link on the reporting page. I have tried this from 2 different mail accounts (webmail and work) to 2 different reporting accounts (paid and free). I can see the messages leave my work server. 05/09/2005 02:55:39 PMÂ Router: [00000003] Transferring mail to domain spam.SPAMCOP.NET (host vmx2.SPAMCOP.NET [64.74.133.250]) via SMTP 05/09/2005 02:55:40 PMÂ Router: Transferred 1 messages to spam.SPAMCOP.NET (host vmx2.SPAMCOP.NET) via SMTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The next bump being that I haven't seen any evidence of A.J. doing anything with the GMail invite which would get around the Port 25 blocking .... Jeff G. says he's talked to JT recently. Both Horde/IMP have had recent patches released, this Forum has had some patches released, the possibility is that Jeff T. is banging on keyboards, making his side of the system work a but ... Julian/IronPort's side of the house ...??? http://www.spamcop.net/spamgraph.shtml?spamstats shows a bit of heavier breathing ..??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J.Mechelynck Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I traced my problems to my ISP: Since (IIRC) May 2, any outgoing emails which "appear to contain spam", even in an attachment, are silently dropped into the bit bin. This means I cannot submit by email to SC anymore. Connections on port 25 are disabled, except to my own ISP's outgoing-mail servers. Therefore I cannot establish any connection with smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 And yet, I still see no response to the GMail invite I sent a while back ... this would get arounf the Port 25 block for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
