I was using yahoo for my SMTP setting but they must have changed the policy as it worked okay then stopped.
I was thinking about using this software by http://www.postcastserver.com/ but my ISP has blocked port 25. I also can't use my ISP.

Any ideas

Cheers

Haven't Yahoo just changed their policy and are now charging for this service. That's probably why it's stopped working.

Can you login on their website to check your mail? I received some message stating that I had tried to retrieve mail from the account, but I needed to sign-up for the new service first.

I have a domain hosted with Easyspace so they supply POP3 accounts but not SMTP. I don't want to pay yahoo $35 a year just for SMTP. All I want to do is use an SMTP to send my mail. I think I had a list of SMTP servers you could use a while ago but can't find any now.

Cheers

Jeremy,

don't use them so I don't know. I telnetted to port 25 of a few of them and they don't appear to allowing relaying - which is no big surprise as they don't want to be used for spamming.
