Hi, what�s all this port jigerypokery? confused
I use the Orange SMTP mail server with Outlook Express as I did for Free-online, E7even, Tiscali and Plusnet. It must be secure when you have to input your email address and the password to access your mail, as you do for (check email) on the Orange website home page.

In reply to a post by E7er:

You don't for SMTP outgoing. They are only entered for POP3 incoming. The only check is that the SMTP being used is that of your ISP.

Solution to Orange SMTP Issue


[re: yarwell] [link to this post] 		 
Eastbourne IT offer an SMTP-only mail account which can use a non-standard TCP port (i.e. not 25) in order to get around the ridiculous restrictions Orange insist on.

What a load of codswallop!

Orange are no different from many other ISPs, like O2, Be, AOL & TT, in blocking all other providers' port 25 SMTP. So why single them out?
