Wow, a relative of iRon. Welcome back. We all forget our username every now and again. (No, not really.)
Do you have a gmail account so you can try the gmail smtp server?

Re: Email help
yes i do, i have entered everything no issues. the reason i want to use my telkom email its not for me, its for dad for his business but somehow telkom is giving the wrong settings anyone else having the same trouble with telkom and win7 or is it just me
Re: Email help
Just a thought: Try using the Telkom SMTP server but changing the Outgoing Port from 25 to 26 or something. See if that makes any difference.

Re: Email help
yea, you have to use your ISP's smtp for outgoing - regardless of mail provider you use.
would have solved it for you had i seen this earlier sorry.

Re: Email help
Yeah - ISPs generally restrict usage of their SMTP servers to their allocated IP ranges. You can thank the unthinking spammers out there for that.

Oh, right, I was acting on the assumption that you were connecting with the saix backbone. Thing is, if you switch back to your telkom account then the isdl smtp server won't work anymore.Smurf6 wrote:got it right telkom can kiss my head so i have founded out if i dont use my telkom acc in my router it wont sent email via it, so in order to make use of my open cap i had to make my outgoing smtp.isdsl.net haha oh well thanx stu much appreciated

Re: Email help
A possible solution is to have the router dial multiple PPPoE accounts simultaneously, and route certain traffic over the one connection. I originally tried this as I was having issues remoting into a company VPN when on the SAIX backbone, yet it would strangely work fine over IS - I worked around the issue by grabbing a prepaid IS account, setting up the router to dial into the IS and SAIX accounts simultaneously, and then routed all traffic to the company's public IP range through the IS connection and left the SAIX connection as the default route for everything else. (This was in the days when the SAIX and IS backbones were the only options out there.)
You could set something up that, say, routes traffic to the SAIX mail servers over the SAIX connection and everything else over the IS connection (or, of course, the other way around). This however requires both networking skill as well as a router supporting this ability. I did this on the D-Link DSL-2500U; other models of the DSL-2xxxU family would be able to do the same thing, but I have no idea as to the capabilities of the other brands.
