719290 2008-11-10 22:04:00 I have a domain name email address through ihug. As of about three days ago I have suddenly been unable to send emails through an Xtra connection I have. The error message is:

Sending and Receiving reported error (0x800ccc0f): 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

Recieving emails is fine and I know the Email Account settings are configured correctly because I am still able to send/receive with no problems on another Xtra connection I have access to and also on a Vodafone connection.

The wireless router on the Xtra connection (causing the problems) was recently reset when we had a power cut and I think this has triggered the problem. The Xtra connection is still showng as being opted out of the Port 25 blocking thing which caused me a few headaches when I set everything up a few months back so I don't know what the problem is.

Any help will be much appreciated?

719291 2008-11-10 22:08:00 You cant use another ISP to get Xtra email (www.xtra.co.nz)

Its not allowed

But you can use Xtramail, which is web based

719292 2008-11-10 22:24:00 Sorry you've misunderstood . I am using Xtra as my ISP to pick up my ihug (vodafone) email (through Outlook) . This was working fine until a couple of days ago (when the router was reset) and continues to work fine on another Xtra ISP connection I have .

I am operating on a laptop using different ISP's depending on my location .

719293 2008-11-10 22:36:00 POP3 should be Ihugs settings.

SMTP needs to be Xtras settings.

719294 2008-11-10 22:57:00 Thanks but I am currently on an Xtra ISP connection and pop and smtp settings are pop.ihug.co.nz and smtp.ihug.co.nz and everything is working fine. It is just on another Xtra ISP connection I have that is causing problems.

The settings don't change depending on what ISP I am connected to and I use these same settings with many ISP's around the world without problem when I am travelling.

719295 2008-11-10 23:32:00 Yep same here, we have Orcon at work
One fella has xtra at home and cannot send emails when he takes his laptop home
I have tried changing smtp to xtra (worked in the past up til about 6-8 months ago when we changed to Orcon from ihug)
Nothing seems to work???

If someone sorts this i would like to know also
Thanks

Contact Vodafone, as they 'should' know what to do, as you have to get the domain based email address authenticated by Telecom .

You actually can now, since they switched to Yahoos offshore servers. That page you refer to is out of date. I check my @xtra.co.nz email addresses using Xnet as my ISP.

719299 2008-11-11 00:11:00 Thanks robbyp except I don't believe it is an issue with Vodafone as it is working fine on other Xtra ISP connections I have access to. It is just one Xtra ISP connection I often use that is no longer working and unfortunately I am not on the account so it is going to be a real hassle getting some answers out of Xtra...

I am no expert on the matter but one thing I would suggest to Globe1 is to try unsubscribing to Port 25 filtering on any Xtra connections you want to use to send emails from other providers on. There is no downside that I have seen and apparantly Xtra is the only ISP that does it in NZ. See the following link for more info and it certainly alowed me to send emails no problem through Xtra.
