Has Mail Changed

Post by kpassaur » Fri Oct 07, 2011 10:23 am

I use SMTPSendMail in numerous scripts and not it has stopped working on all of them. Have servers changed somthing? I have only tried my account and my gmail pop account they work with Outlook but not in my scrips and they did before.

Any ideas to why this would be?

Is your Outlook 32- or 64-bit?

I have Outlook 2007 and it works fine with gmail and godaddy as a website host.

The scripts that are failing were created with MS as far back as Ver 9. However, most of them were recomipiled with ver 12.1.4 of MS.

It does connect, but then it just hangs there and eventually it stops responding. I though it was because I changed a subroutine in one. So, I tried the previous one and that failed. I went back and started testing the ones I have written in the last two years and same thing, they have all just stopped. I know it is not something that has changed on my end, it either has to be something on the Server end, or ISP end I would think but I don't know.

Try following this test procedure:

Telnet to Port 25 to Test SMTP Communication

I should have closed this out. I got it to work by changing ports. It seems strange to me that with outlook it would work with 25 and in my script it would fail but would work with 3035.
