    About this ebook

    I don’t know how many times I’ve travelled abroad, sat down to handle my personal and business email using my simple Outlook Express email client, only to find that for some reason I can RECEIVE email OK but I can’t SEND email. This annoying problem forced me to resort to web mail, such as Gmail, which I find slow, cumbersome and non intuitive. Well, finally on a new trip I had time to sit down and try to find out once and for all how to solve this annoying problem. And solve I did, but it took me 10 days of messing around which this article will save you from.

    Author

    R. Paul Stevens

    There is a favorite line from my novella Dinner Party For Eight in which Angela asks Harry:“What do you think I am?”Harry considered this for a moment. What was she actually?“Well I suppose you are a very beautiful cook.”So if I have to answer the same question what am I actually? I would also need to consider this for a moment. I would like to say I’m an ex astronaut, have more degrees than a thermometer, have competed in the Tour de France without any EPO, surfed Teahupoo in Tahiti and emerged unscathed, sailed round the world, am an ace Alpine skier, am a member of Mensa, have a beauty queen wife and gorgeous kids, and started my own corporation which has listed on NASDAQ. I could go on but like Arnold Schwarzenegger I don’t want to boast.Well to be honest, I have gone some of the way towards all those things. I do have a letter from Wernher von Braun, I do have three degrees in Physics, I have flown in a jet plane (Emirates Air), I do cycle the mega steep hills here where I live but unfortunately can’t get EPO anywhere, I am a keen surfer who has almost managed to break his neck, I am an ocean going skipper and I did own my own yacht though if it was me I wouldn’t sail with me as captain, I do ski but you need to get out of the way, I do have a beautiful wife (though her agreeing to marry me has to be my biggest piece of luck ever) and two great kids, I do have my own software business but no stock exchanges alas and I would like to take the Mensa test but I’m pretty sure I would fail and then I wouldn’t be able to live with that so I would rather rationalize. I live in that sapphire city – Cape Town.

      Preamble

      I don’t know how many times I’ve travelled abroad, sat down to handle my personal and business email using my simple Outlook Express email client, only to find that for some reason I can RECEIVE email OK but I can’t SEND email. This annoying problem forced me to resort to web mail, such as Gmail, which I find slow, cumbersome and non intuitive. Well, finally on a new trip I had time to sit down and try to find out once and for all how to solve this annoying problem.

      My first port (more about ports later) of call was my Internet Service Provider (ISP) in my home country.

      Can you please tell me why I can never SEND an email when abroad?? To this perfectly reasonable question I got a hedged answer, to the effect that I need to use the outgoing mail server of the ISP I was currently connected to. No reason given for this, other than to say that is what you need to do. I was then given some suggestions for settings which I could try. Maybe they will work, and maybe they won’t. Can’t say. I tried the new settings, and they didn’t work.

      Next I Googled this issue and got this explanation: Unfortunately, spammers and hackers have exploited port 25 so much that in recent years many email providers and internet service providers (ISPs) have started to assume that senders using these generic settings are probably spammers, and have tightened up their requirements for sending email, especially when those senders aren't physically connected to their networks.

      I then learn port number 25
