ermmm appears to be a problem at my end of things. Have just rearranged computer and router so Ethernet
cables not long enough to reach between pc and router without looking like something out of "snakes on a plane".
So I went wifi between pc and router, everything fine EXCEPT I cannot send out any emails via "relay.plus.net".
I have another gmail account that works just fine.
If I reconnect pc to router with cable everything just fine
any ideas folks,
Ian

e-mails but can't send anything.

Perhaps a silly question but have you checked the WiFi you are connecting to really is to your own router, not to next door's or mobile?

SMTP port is 0 and has been since I have been with PN- a .................long...........time
Do you suggest changing the port number to 25 or 587?
Yes good point but it is my WiFi

I suggest trying with the SMTP port set to 587.

some results of testing :-
1. pc to router wired (ethernet)
Use of any of ports 0:25:587 result message sent ok
2. pc to router wifi
Port 0 result smtp server timed out
Port 25 result smtp server timed out
Port 587 result recipient rejected - relay denied
The same destination email address was used throughout
I also checked out the PN email setup guide for Thunderbird and that shows port 587 for the smtp server
the plot thickens, Ian

I use Thunderbird on my desktop computer connected wired and sending using port 587. I use Outlook 2003 on my laptop connected wireless and sending using port 587. That is set to use authentication and works on my home connection or from hotspots. I've never had any problem sending at home or elsewhere.

yes very confusing. I am using the built in wifi adapter of my tosh laptop. So I will pick up a dongle
over the weekend and try that.
thanks for your time,
Ian

Quote from: dvvrue95 Port 587 result recipient rejected - relay denied
"Relay denied" is the usual response to a connection made from outside the mail server home domain - ie the sending system is reaching the mail server from an internet interface rather than a Plusnet internal connection. This does not affect fetching mail.
That reinforces spraxyt's suggestion that you are connecting to a non-Plusnet linked access point, especially as wired has no problems
Have you removed and remade the wireless connection, applying the correct encryption key?
Have you tried inSSIDer* to look for "open" channels nearby?
* for MS Windows
