i tried to use my domain's mail server to check my email using Outlook (XP), and i have this error message returned to me

!Task 'mail.earthlinktech.com.au - Sending and Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC0D): 'Unable to find the e-mail server. Please verify the server information in you account properties.'

but when i use the same user setting with powweb's mail server 'mail.powweb.com', it works just fine, also i have checked the webmail 'http://mail.earthlinktech.com.au' , it works fine too.

did i miss configured something in Outlook?

Please help.

thanks

I just posted this in another forum, but it fits here as well I believe:

Change the SMTP port # for your email client from 25 to 24.

FYI: many ISP's, in an attempt to gain more control over their users, block sendmail’s default port of 25. Powweb has developed a small work around by enabling port forwarding on port 24 for these users.
