852945 2010-01-28 09:27:00 Hey been reinstalling everything on my parents pc and have just set up Outlook 07 and did a test email and it says that there is a problem with the smtp server. I copied the settings from clear's site.
Pop: pop.clear.net.nz Works
SMTP: smtp.clear.net.nz DOES NOT WORK.
Any one else on clear figured out how to get sending to work?

852946 2010-01-28 09:35:00 Is your current internet connection with Clear?

I found that, I am with Xnet, I can pop my Clear net emails still but I cannot use the smtp server to send out. I use the Xnet smtp server to send emails out.

852947 2010-01-28 09:38:00 My broadband is with Xnet but I have a backup dial up connection with clear for when all of xnet crashes and their dial up fails. Does it work alright using xnet's sending server? nedkelly (9059)
852948 2010-01-28 09:41:00 SMTP.clear.net.nz does work....if you are on Telstraclear.
Mine does.

852949 2010-01-28 09:43:00 ah that might be why mine is not working then. Will try what Nomad suggested with xnets smtp server tomorrow night and post what happens. nedkelly (9059)
852950 2010-01-28 09:45:00 Just looked up on my list:

smtp.clear.net.nz

Is what its always been.

Their site has details (clearnet.custhelp.com m93X2NudD02NzUsNjc1JnBfcHJvZHM9JnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0 mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ub CZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1)

852951 2010-01-28 22:49:00 If you do not have a active clear connection they don't let you use their smtp server.

If dialup - fine then I think you need to be connected on their dialup before you can access it.

Well, these days I think the pop server shouldn't be working :D Cos they have Mail Plus which is $5 a month isn't it? That lets you pop your email from another internet provider. In the past it didnt' work. Ie., if you are not paying clear net why should one get free clear email .....

852952 2010-02-04 21:14:00 Ok changed the SMTP server to xnet's one but now I get the error "None of the authentication methods supported by this client are supported by your server".
Which is weird considering that I have no problems sending with same program with my Xnet account.
Any ideas?

852953 2010-02-04 21:32:00 If you are with telstra clear than try smtp.paradise.net.nz without any authentication. ronyville (10611)
