Just found out that Bess Sympatico HSE filters the SMTP port 25 thus not allowing an SME 5 server to send SMTP mail directly to the internet.
Not sure if this is a new feature or if this is well known already by all.
In the Server-administrator, there is a way to tell SME to send all SMTP mail directly to the ISP SMTP server. THis works fine if you are using the SME email.
However, I seem to have difficulties having my internal lan's client to send mail using some other email, for example the sympatico.ca email account.
I have tried connecting directly to the smtp1.sympatico.ca server in the client's setup but I get some error connecting and no mail is sent. The error is not about authentication but is essentially about not being able to establish a connection! I can ping smtp1.sympatico.ca just fine though.
I tried to use my sme server as the smtp server but in that case, it seems that the ISP setting made on the server-manager does not work. THe email seems to have been sent from the client's point of view. However, the mail seem to be sent to never-never land and no error is ever received back!
Has anyone seen this type of problem and fixed it?
Any advice appreciated.
Serge
