519473 2007-01-27 02:09:00 ok i have program which sends email and it says i need to put in an smtp server,so it put xtra's smtp server in with the port and my user name and password and it won't send because xtra blocked port 25. So does anyone know any free reliable smtp servers i could use?

P.S

Gmail's smtp server won't work cuz i've tried it.

519475 2007-01-27 02:24:00 Are you using an xtra internet connection? Xtra blocks access to smtp.xtra.co.nz from anywhere but its own network; if you are connected with another ISP you will need to use another server.

If you are actually connected with an Xtra connection, make sure you haven't used a typo - it should be 'smtp.xtra.co.nz'.

Finally, make sure that whatever firewall you are using allows your mail program to make outgoing connections to port 25.

What is the exact error message you are getting?

that’s if you run your own mail server or send mail via other smtp servers ( but I have yet to have a problem sending any e-mails via other smtp servers)
