Re: [foxboro] AW70 XP and smtp

Sorry, I should have been clearer.  When I say "firewalled" I usually mean 
either externally, or internally using products like McAfee, and on a 
handful or all ports, TCP and/or UDP, etc.  And I also stated "remote 
host", but it could also happen on the local box, as "we are smarter than 
you" products like McAfee will block _outgoing_ ports like SMTP to protect 
the Internet from your obviously malignant PC.  I swear, I think the think 
I like most about Unix is that it never assumes you are an idiot.

Glad you got it worked out.

It wasn't the switched off firewall.
It was this sh-t of mcaffee virusscan port blocking rule.

I found it out by checking the system using the port query tool from MS
and googling a bit.

C:\Documents and Settings\Fox\Desktop\portqry>portqry -n mySMTPServer -e
25

Querying target system called:

mySMTPServer=20

Attempting to resolve name to IP address...

Name resolved to 10.00.00.000


Error opening socket: 10053


An unspecified Winsock error has been encountered.


Regards,
Andreas
