Help Needed :(

[The Real Rebel]

Hey guys,

I need a bit of help, I'm trying to connect to my vps's smtp in Thunderbird but for some reason it wont find the smtp for some reason ?!

Any help? I'm using Kloxo with CentOS, Additional Smtp port is 13, It finds incoming just it cant find the outgoing?!

If someone helps me quickly with this issue I'm willing ot give them 50 credits

Regards,
Jamie

Not knowing all the details here will be hard for anyone to help...however I would start by making sure the SMTP server is actually listening on the correct interface, and also make sure that there are no firewalls blocking that port. SMTP usually, and should run on port 25 or 465 for SSL, what is your reasoning for moving it to 13?

Thats an additional, The thing is Thunderbird, the new one or Outlook 2007 wont find the smtp server, it connects to the pop but not the SMTP?!

You need to verify that the port is actually open, the easy way to do that is to use a port scanner from your home computer to your server and scan to see if that port is open.
