If you cannot send e-mail, recheck your settings. Some internet service providers block SMTP Port 25 and you will have to send e-mail through their outgoing e-mail server. We have set up an alternative port to work around this block, please inquire for details. Known ISPs blocking port 25: MSN, Earthlink, and Juno.
