Hi,
mail = CyOSendMimeMailSmtp.new()
mail.server = “localhost” # localhost is also default
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And this is what I am still struggling with. Any ideas are highly
welcome.
Again thank you very much, Carlos !
Lost your response, I think you said that you weren’t behind a proxy
but behind a router. That shouldn’t make any difference then.
Can you ping the mail.xxxx.xxx address you are using from you dev
machine?
Can you telnet to the mail.xxxxx.xxx address at port 25 from the dev
machine?

Correct ! I am not behind any proxy (this is my Home PC).
but behind a router. That shouldn’t make any difference then.
Ok good. I don’t remember if my router has a built in firewall. I’ll check.

No … ping times out too. It translates smtp.everestkc.net to
mail.everestkc.net though.

machine?
Yes, I can but I don’t get a login prompt or anything. This is what I see:
220

and then the session hangs. I had to close the DOS window to
come out of it.
But I was able to use the utility “blat”
(Blat - Windows Command Line SMTP Mailer download | SourceForge.net)
which uses smtp to send mails. No problems there. And of course, I
am using Outlook Express to send this email. So there must be a way.
And where there is a way there is a will … or some such 
Thanks for your continued attention.
