E-Mail problem

[Brian JW]

Hi Just registered.


Could someone please advise
I have given up trying to speak to NTL.

I use microsoft outlook for my e-mail, I have an address with freeserve.
I do not want to change to ntl address.

I can receive e-mails on my freeserve address, but if i try to send a mail it sticks in the outbox

Many thanks in advance

Regards

Brian

hi to Cable Forum

NTL only allow mail to be sent via their own servers, change your outgoing mail server to smtp.ntlworld.com and you should be able to send.

Just to clarify: ntl let you send mail through any server you like, but Freeserve won't let you send through theirs if you are not on a Freeserve connection.

thanks for that - luckily the advice was right, even if the logic behind it was backwards
