Hi Marc,

He should be fine to use either the 1&1 server or our own if he moved to Plusnet.

Hope that helps,

I trust he is aware of the 12/18 month minimum contracts.

he should be, clear enough on the foot of the home page... before any sign up process..

"Stuff you need to know

Minimum contract length of 18 months applies to Plusnet Value and Plusnet Unlimited. Prices displayed are inclusive of VAT. View our terms and conditions. "

a valuable contribution Wingco... as ever

Just to say I am on madasafish(plusnet) and have a 1and1 hosted email account and have no problem sending mail via my maaf adsl using the recomended auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk port 587 from my pc or on my iphone when on my wi-fi.

Hope that helps as maaf uses the same mail platform.

Certainly more helpfull than your persistant stalking, trolling and nitpicking.

Thanks for the confirmation .

Thanks for the clarification guys - I'll pass on the info.

Cheers,
Marc.

I shall eagerly await your cheque.

As Matt has clearly forgotten this, it's in the post

Ah thanks Mark, that's great.

I shall look forward to the Post Office delivering it with the other 471 such that they have been hanging onto for up to 40 years.

Hi guys,


He uses an e-mail address hosted by 1&1 as part of my website package - the outgoing SMTP server is: auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk As far as I can tell from what he's told me (I haven't actually seen it) the settings he's using are correct (i.e. identical to mine, which work fine on Zen). We've tried changing the outgoing port to 587 (which 1and1 recommend), but it still fails. The general consensus when I asked about this on one of the other forums here suggested Tiscali are something of a pain for this kinda thing.

Cheers,
Marc.

Hi Marc, as others already stated PN doesn't block port 25 from use either on their consumer or business offerings. Mine are all set up as mail.xxx.com etc on port 25, which works fine on outlook and my Nokia e75.

I don't know if 1&1 does this but smtp can be set up on port 26. exim can do this and on cpanel/whm based servers this is very easy to do.
