cant send mail

With 10.5.5 you shouldn't have to manually change any of the outgoing port numbers because it'll try the main 3 of 25, 465, and 587 by default. Make sure the settings other than the port are correct, like whether Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is enabled and if the authentication (None, password, or otherwise) is right. Only Roadrunner can tell you what those settings have to be.

 

Hm, it shouldn't be so difficult. The only thing I can think of is that someone's not giving you the right settings for the outgoing mail. Have you called Roadrunner for what the right settings are?

 

try using your provided ISP email and password for outgoing mail.

-or- is that the email your receiving email with??


you may want to reset your router and other devices you changed the port settings back to default and start from square one and see if that works, something coul dhave been blocked.

.

another suggestion;
double check that "User Name" for outgoing isnt just "yourname" but instead try "yourname@emailadress.com" it may need the FULL email address for the outgoing username...


hm..

 

jmorris, mail can only send on these three ports exactly:

25, 465, or 587

So in the outgoing settings, try each of those. One has to work. Most all ISPs block 25 to avoid spam-bot infested computers sending out spam. So most likely it is either 465 or 587. Good luck,
