Is sending in W Mail like cracking the DaVinci Code...only h
Posted by admin on Dec 10th, 2006
I have verified that all my account info is correct and that my internet mail works. I have deleted my mail account and rebooted prior to adding a new account with password checked before and after entry (depending on the attempt). While I am able to receive mail, I can not send mail. When I try, I get the following message: The host 'smpt.secureserver.net' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Subject '748 test', Account: 'mail.marshallassociates.biz', Server: 'smpt.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D Any idea where or how I can find the holy grail?

You spelled smpt wrong. It should be smtp.Frank

Great find.......but now for the next clue.After correcting the typo (many thanks), I have tried sending and replying messages. Results were: "Email connection lost. Email scanning encountered a problem. The email can not be sent." I have tried sending with scanning turned off and then back on. Neither worked. Next suggestion appreciated."Frankster" wrote:

Vista does not have "email scanning". So, this has to be from your Antivirus program. If turning email scanning off is not enough to prevent this error, try uninstalling your AV program and try again.Frank

Frankster,Excuse me? I don't think going online without any AV protection is a valid solution. It's obviously not the answer for the long term and could be a disaster in the short run.I made that mistake last month with a brandnew, top of the line Sony Vaio laptop and it only took about 30 minutes and the machine was hozed. I was just trying to retrieve the Key to my AV program ...online. Big mistake.Were you really serious?Tom "Frankster"

Still unable to send, receiving the folloowing error:Server: 'smtp.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 24.61.53.* rejected due to spam, contact 4805058877 (Attack detected from pool 24.61.53.187)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79?? Any ideas? "Frankster" wrote:

Email scanning is different from antivirus software running on your computer. Email scanning and OE and especially now it seems with WinMail is ruining the experience for the user. Email scanning is redundant and invariably messes up the email program. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3It does not mean get rid of your antivirus software. It means take control of it and be intelligent about it, if that is possible.steve"Tom Brown"

Looks like your mail server is rejecting your outgoing email due to your IP address being on some kind of blacklist. Probably should contact your ISP about this. Also call the telephone number provided.Frank"Don Magdalen"

Most broadband users have a router which will protect them against unsolicited contacts from the Internet. Even without a router, Windows Firewall and Windows Defender will do a pretty good job.Gary VanderMolen "Tom Brown"

Wow, it's on 23 blacklists. Someone has been a bad boy. ;)Gary VanderMolen "Frankster"

Blacklists suck. He probably got blacklisted by someone spoofing him and then instead of the spoofer getting blacklisted, the spoofed does. Its totally stupid methodology.Its like stealing your neighbor's car and committing a crime, so they arrest your neighbor to fix it.steve"Gary VanderMolen"

Turning off email scanning is not the same as turning off your AV protection you will still be protected, just without the unnecessary/redundant/problem causing email scanning.Steve Cochran is correct, more users are having problems with AV email scanning and WinMail. Michael"Tom Brown"

Actually, in this case (as most), it appears that the whole IP block is blacklisted, specifically because they are dynamically assigned. No other reason. A common practice.I agree, blacklists suck. I run my own mail server and I do not use blacklists. There are much better ways.Frank"Steve Cochran"

I'm quite familiar with spam blacklists and how they work, having been a longtime member of SpamCop. No, spoofing does not get the wrong person blaclisted. The origin of spam is not determined by the 'From' address but by the IP address of the originator. Due to the way the TCP/IP protocol works, the source IP can not be spoofed.Gary VanderMolen "Steve Cochran"

Yes, for dynamic IP assignments, a whole IP range can get blacklisted. The point is to put pressure on the ISP to improve his lax antispam practices. If you choose a bad ISP there will be consequences. One should always keep an alternate email provider handy, just in case there is a blacklist block against your own ISP's outgoing mail server. Blacklists will usually clear an IP range within 24 hours unless more spam has been spewed.Gary VanderMolen "Frankster"

Blacklists that block IPs based solely on dynamic status DO NOT verify/validate anything about SPAM at all. They simply blacklist based on the dynamic IP status, alone. You cannot "clear" a dynamic IP from the blacklist if the blacklist controller's policy is to block all dynamically assigned IPs. SPAM usually has nothing to do with it.Frank"Gary VanderMolen"
