I have just installed a program called mail enable for my POP and SMTP. I set it up in the server and set it up in my outlook. When i send mail to my hotmail account it will not send. when i send mail from my hotmail account to my server mail it will not send. When i send to my sympatico (ISP) mail account it works. I need help. I really don't know were to post it so im posting it in the general discussion.

It would be nice if i can get this setup soon.

Sadly some ISPs block outgoing e-mail unless it goses threw there server. They calim this is to stop spam. If this is the case there is realy nothing you can do.

If your on Bell, bell blocks out going emails - you have to use their smtp1.sympatico.ca server to send emails

You can also see if your host/mail provider etc... supports sending mail on port 1025, some hosting places do this to get around isp's that block mail servers.

(Mine for example does provide access on 1025)
