Problems with send.vodafone.net

[Admin]

Using the document "How to set up multiple Microsoft Outlook profiles" in this thread we covered how you need to change the outgoing mail server address when using a Vodafone 3G data card.

In rare ocassions you will note that this doesn't always work, and in these instances you should follow the guidelines below:

If users are experiencing problems with sending e-mails using “send.vodafone.net”, please try the following:

1. On Outlook:

Tools - email accounts - view/change existing email accounts - highlight account and select change - select more settings - under the general or advanced tab.

·Change the SMTP to 212.183.156.230
·Change the time-out time to Maximum.


2. Flush DNS - this will clear the cache or the history

Disconnect any open network connection.
Start - Run - Type cmd and hit return
Type ipconfig /flushdns and hit return

Retry the connection

Ive tried what is suggested above but its still not working.
I was GMAIL SMTP but it stopped working a few days ago.
Its so silly. Why stop other SMTPs from working. Ive been using Gmail for a couple of years now.
A friend advised me to use send.vodafone.net, but am having no luck with it.

Gmail uses a SSL to send and receive.
Have you disbaled this in your outgoing server settings?
The outgoing port should be 25, not 465.

of course.
had to try a couple of times, but is working fine now.
cheers
