Outlook Express configuration

[isabelgica]

Hi everyone,

I've a problem getting an Outlook express account configured.
when I created the new email (with DirectAdmin), let's say: [email protected], I got the following info:

Username: [email protected]
password: password
Pop3 server: mail.mysite.com
smtp server: mail.mysite.com

but still get the following error when testing the account in Outlook Express:

for outgoing mails (smtp): the server was found, but there is no answer. Unable to connect to the server. please review serverport, name or SSL.​

Can anybody help me on this one? Which port should be used (and where do I find this info -for future reference-)..

Many thanks in advance!
rgds, isabelgica

Your isp is blocking port 25. Either use your isp for outgoing email or change the smtp port to 587 in the settings.

i'm having the exact same problem.. did you solve it already?

1: Your ISP is blocking port 25 (as scsi said) or you don't have port 25 opened in your firewall if you have one
2: Try port 587 instead of 25
3: Use the SMTP server of your ISP provider.
