I have a problem which I cannot explain : in my office, I have an XP SP2
machine running Norton SBS 10.1 which acts as the mail server. I have two
broadband connections from two different ISPs. Through one, there is
absolutey no problem When I shift to the other, Internet access if perfect,
accessing POP3 accounts, but accessaing my SMTP server : waits for ever. Or
sort of. Suddenly, after say 15 minutes, the mails go. And then again, server
timeout.
When I get back to the first ISP, absolutely no problem. I checked with my
Web Site hoster, and they replied that theuy have not blocked SMTP access to
the address space that the second ISP uses.
BTW, on the first ISP, I have a static IP, while on the second I get a
dynamic IP. The proxy server is Freeproxy, but the problem remains even if
the proxy is bypassed by the email client on the mail server.
Any ideas?
Mohan
