WebMail - Thunderbird settings

[Malcolm]

Hi,

I can't seem to get WebMail working with Thunderbird. I've got the POP3 settings right, because I can receive messages, but I can't send.

My POP3 server is set to bute.st-andrews.ac.uk, and I can download and read my messages fine.


My SMTP server is set to smtp.st-andrews.ac.uk, which throws an immediate error (probably because it doesn't exist). So what should I set it to? If I set it to either bute.st-... or mail.st-... or webmail.st-..., it says "Connected to" the server, but then comes up with an error after about 10 seconds saying it's improperly configured.

Have I got something wrong, or have ITS just blocked everything again?

You want "mailhost. " on port 25 you'll have to send from your mac reg'd ip, or any ip that has a st-a's pointer as the server does a spam check on "s-ip-origin-in *.st-and*.ac.uk " to validate it.

I had exactly the same problem when I set up thunderbird a couple of days ago, I've now got mailhost on the smtp and sends most messages fine but it was a bit unnerving when my test email to my hotmail account didn't arrive and still hasn't. All messages I've sent to other addresses have arrived fine (even to a another free account, yahoo), why won't it send to hotmail accounts?
