I am having problems with slow outgoing Emails, I normally use Thunderbird, Outlook Express is the same, all else is fine, just that when you send a simple Email it can take forever to go.
I checked the smtp.blueyonder.co.uk setting, I even installed XP on a spare drive and nothing else, no Av no Firewall - nothing! still the same on Outlook Express and Firefox when that was installed.
On doing a SMTP test I get -: SMTP -> ERROR: RCPT not accepted from server: 550 Administrative prohibition - relaying not allowed.
Also typing telnet smtp.blueyonder.co.uk 25 in command prmpt brought -: 220 asmtp-out6.blueyonder.co.uk ESMTP Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:08:40 +0100
421 asmtp-out6.blueyonder.co.uk SMTP command timeout - closing connection
Connection to host lost.
I also checked the upstream power level in the Modem.
Could anyone throw light on this, would you agree it's a config. fault at VM end and is there anything else I can do, what would be the next step?
