oh... i got this email in hotmail... abt 12 hrs later... This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY....

mhcampboy SG

I got a domain site already. And now I want to use their mails to correspond with people.

I think I need to use outlook. But how to set it up? Crying or Very sad

Ito_^ SG

Laughing u never use pop3 email before!?

mhcampboy SG

never. Crying or Very sad

is tat bad? Laughing

the Bear SG

why would you want to? Laughing

mhcampboy SG

becos.. i dun think i can send or receive emails from my domain accounts manager page....

they gave me their Incoming POP3 Server and Outgoing (SMTP) Server and few others.. so i think i need a third party software... i think.

mhcampboy SG

i tried already with their pop3 server and such..and this i got..

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]'. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.xxx.com', Server: 'mail.xxx.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't allowed to be relayed thru this MTA (#5.7.1)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

xxx denotes my web address... Neutral

Ito_^ SG

could be ur settings, make sure the ports are set properly.

mhcampboy SG

hmmm i think i got it... i guess.

but... strange... i sent using outlook... to two email accts. yahoo and hotmail.

yahoo got my test msg. but hotmail do not. i replied using yahoo.. and i got it too. i tried sending a mail from hotmail... but never receive...

why ar..

Ito_^ SG

if ur pop3 settings are all correctly done.

den complain to host lor.

it could be their server's settings went overboard with spam control.

mhcampboy SG

spam control means? they block hotmail emails? but yahoo can?

Ito_^ SG

hosts could have installed filters to control spam. they could have configure their settings wrongly oso. just a guess la.

in any case, if u are confident ur settings are fine, den its time to contact their tech support.

mhcampboy SG

well.. their settings are kinda str8 forward right...

and i can receive and send msgs to Yahoo email. but not to hotmail.

yeah... just sent an email to them...

they got 24hr live support... but im 8 in the queue and waited for 1hr already... Laughing

Don't use SSL.

I got the same error also. If want to use SSL, must use via browser.

This error not only hits Thunderbird but a few email clients as well.

mhcampboy SG

wad is SSL?? Shocked Shocked

and i got it up and running... except i cant send and receive mails from HOTMAIL. yahoo can. how?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

SSL is Secure Sockets Layer. Helps to encrypt mails and keep the contents safe from script kiddies.

One reason you can't send mails from Hotmail using Outlook because your hotmail account is not paid. They don't allow you to connect this way.

You should be able to receive mails from your server, did you do it correctly?

Mine is able to, but it goes to junk mail. Check your junk mail box. Smile

mhcampboy SG

ooh.

hmmm i cant. i send to and from hotmail. nuhtin in inbox nor junk mail...

sent many times already....

but yahoo can.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Looks like your host not happy with Hotmail. Gotta check with them.

Ito_^ SG

actually i kana similar problem before.. caused quite some problems between me and my client. i communicated with the tech support for quite sometime, he did testing for me.. den after quite some time, it just works. i still have no ideas why. Confused
