Are you connected to the Internet via Orange when trying to send?

If you are connected via another ISP including any public WiFi network,
that is the problem. The ISP you are connected via is blocking port 25.

Can anybody help me!
I am running windows XP and use outlook express for emails. Over the
last 3/4
months I have experienced problems with sending email, incoming are no
problem - on sending email I am getting an error message,
The connection to the server has failed. Account:
'pop.orangehome.co.uk',
Server: 'smtp.orangehome.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No,
Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E

I have tried to sort it myself and sometimes by rebooting the PC
clears the
problem but now that does not clear it up - I have spoken with Orange
and
they are not much help
