[LUG] SMTP Port

 

Recently I was moved to a new server by my hosting company. Everything
is fine except emails. I can receive them ok, but I am having trouble
with sending any.

So I am wondering if the SMTP port is set wrongly. I am using my laptop
at the moment which is working fine. However the desk top will not send
emails. At a quick glance I see that the SMTP port on the laptop is set
at 465, the port on the desktop is 587. And the desktop complains that
it needs some authentication, although I have it set up to not need any.

Can anyone tell me if that could be a problem and what port I should be
using?

Thanks

Neil
