I asked her to bring her laptop over for me to check and to see the error messages. She did so earlier today. When I tested it out it worked perfectly, so no error messages.Who is the ISP? As others have said port 597 might be normal for them.. or as has happened to me in the past, they may have changed the SMTP settings and not bothered to tell customers.The only thing I noticed is that the outgoing server her laptop was set to use port 587, which I believe is the default. On all our computers here we are set up for port 25. So I have changed that in her computer and will wait to see what happens when she tests it this evening.Meanwhile, just out of interest, is there any significance in which port is set up? I don't really understand what difference it would make, but then why would there be a choice set up otherwise?Can anyone enlighten me please? Thanks NeilKind regards, Julian
587 I meant.. just woke up.. didn't notice the typo. Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
