I am using Outlook 2007. I have always used a backdoor server for my outbound emails. Yesterday, that door was closed so I had to start using the outbound server associated with my domain.
However, I am unable to send emails though this (which is why I didn't use it before).
When I contacted the hosting company they said it was fine on their end and that there was a firewall blocking the emails on my end.
Yesterday, my emails would eventually go out but it may take an hour (and 10-20 send/receives) before it would.
I located the only known firewall on my computer (Windows Security Firewall) and checked the settings. It is set to allow Outlook to send. Just to be sure, I completely disabled it and still tried to send to no avail.
Im not sure it's a firewall because I have always been able to send from Outlook and the server I was using before was using the same port (25 &/or 2525).
Any ideas??
