----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Apr 20, 2004 8:04 pm Mail server. ----------------------------------- HELP ME. Who uses Bell Sympatico? do they allow users to host their own mail server? BECUASE i got a friend who's got rogers, and we'r using the same mail server-- his works perfectly (send/recieve)-- but mine doesn't work! Only internally! ----------------------------------- Paul Tue Apr 20, 2004 8:15 pm ----------------------------------- does it have anything to do with networking or firewalls? maybe thats the case. The same thing happens to my ftp server if I didn't reconfigure my router. ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Apr 20, 2004 8:23 pm ----------------------------------- Nope, i checked it. Everything is FINE the diagnostics say everything is PERFECT. If i put the outgoing mail server as smtp1.sympatico.ca i can send mails. If i put he incoming mail server as pop6.sympatico.ca i can't recieve..both ways, with or without. Now i don't know if this has anything to do with zonealarm.. but the router is all fixed it works perefectly... is there soemthing i have to do with zonealarm so ti allows it to recieve and send emails???? ANYONE PLEASE HELP ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Apr 20, 2004 9:05 pm ----------------------------------- try turning off zonealram and trying it, if it works then it is the firewall eltes, it is somting messed up with sympactio or your webserver or the addres u using. ----------------------------------- Amailer Tue Apr 20, 2004 10:02 pm ----------------------------------- nope, not zonelabs :S anyone...help...*dies* ----------------------------------- the_short1 Fri Apr 23, 2004 3:26 pm ----------------------------------- ... wen u shut down zonealarm make sure u get the True vector secuirity agent too eh?!..... anways.... why dont u phone them and get the to help??? im shure they could do a better job..... unless BELL sucks for tech support..... iu have shaw and theyve helped me with all my problems... maybe expensive for tier 3 cable plus fast internet... but.... works good... their phone service takes anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours ..... :sigh: **but u get to talk to ppl not machines ;) :P
