Dialup -vs- cable connection

30 Seconds

Should be not less than 120 seconds, i generally use 300 seconds.


Slow-Brain Newbee here; deficient vocabulary; need help: what is "MTU" ?
Maximum Transmission Unit, i.e. the size of the TCP/IP packet.Usually around 1492.

In another thread, another member is helping me with some very confusing events on a couple of hosts.

I don't want to deflect the focus and concentration of that thread.

SSSOoo,,,

Can someone please help me understand why...

-1- When I was connected via dialup, no problems

-2- Now that I have cable, it's NOTHING BUT problems !

What gives ? I thought a byte sent from one machine to another was identical

Why do Pegasus and the machines at Charter and GoDaddy act so markedly different on different days of the week when I haven't changed the (previously working) settings on machine name, UserID, PassWord, etc. ?

With a dial up you are making an authenticated connection to their modem pool; with a cable connection the connection from the mail client to the SMTP host is coming in via the internet.  There are a lot of anti-spam settings that come into play when the connection is coming in via the internet that the ISP feels are not needed when the connection via the modem pool.

Is Pegasus smart enough to dial the modem pool and use that connection instead of my cable connection ?

I could (conceiveably) put large attachments as links and do the FTP thing up to a website or file-sharing machine somewhere.

I'm not sure, but I've gotten the general idea that Microsoft ® Windows Demands one (and only one) internet connection from one (and only one) hardware device. My understanding has been that once you get that connection, nothing else is allowed.

i.e.,

-- If dialed in, then that's your connection and all internet traffic goes through the telephone and modem

-- If DSL, then that that's your connection, all traffic goes that way; the telephone modem is effectively locked out

-- If Cable, that's it, neither phone line nor DSL can have a byte

It would be great if I don't understand the entire truth here, and there was some way to send E-mail via the modem (which worked flawlessly for months; and probably will again)

 The real answer though is to fix the problem with the server.  The DHL connection is the only way to go and all you need it to find out exactly what is required of the SMTP servers.  If you are talking to the telephone support people then they are providing bum information most of the time.    They have no idea what is really required.

For example here's what GoDaddy says to use for SMTP

<dl><dt>Outgoing Mail Server</dt><dd>Use smtpout.secureserver.net for your outgoing mail server.</dd></dl><dl><dt>Outgoing Port</dt><dd>If you enabled SSL, use port 465. If you do not have SSL enabled, use port 25, 80, or 3535 for your outgoing port.</dd></dl>

I did a telnet smtpout.secureserver.net 80 and sure enough the ESMTP server responded.  When I did an EHLO it said I need to use AUTH either plain or login.  FWIW port 3535 did not work and if your ISP is using port blocking then you could not use 25 either.

Hmm, that's puzzling.  It takes the firewall / proxy out of the equation, and confirms Charter see you as one of 'theirs' (anyone else doing that gets a terse brush-off as Thomas posted).

Which Windows version is this?  Has your machine shown any other signs of strange behaviour?

Ok, there is no blocking going on here and so it looks like you have a firewall blocking Pegasus Mail's access to the internet.  Checkout to ensure you have allowed Pegasus mail access to the internet in the windows firewall setup.  Or at least turn it off and see if it is doing the blocking.

Added Pegasus to the "Exceptions" list of the Windows XP internet firewall.

(Start - Control Panel - Network Connections - Local Area Connection - Right Click - Properties - Advanced Tab - Settings - Exceptions Tab - Add Program Button - Scrolled and found Pegasus - Clicked OK - Clicked OK again - Clicked OK a third time)

I immediately tried to send mail again (actually, "FILE - check and send mail") and I'm getting the exact same results. Pegasus talks to the POP3 machine, but never sends any command to anyone after that. I'm totally guessing this, based on reading the logs; I'll post it here just to be complete.

Again, I do not have a tool that will monitor a given port to show me what bytes are going from whom to whom, when, in what order, so I barely understand what I'm observing or reporting here; but hey, I'm doing my best.

The consternation here is that, with my dial-up connection, Pegasus just went on connecting everywhere, automagically, with no thought no error no problem no nothing. My brain is really missing some significant details in this picture. If port 25 is simple and easy for Pegasus on a telephone modem, why is it being obstinate on cable modem ? Charter knows my cable modem by name and MAC address. My brain can really use a little help with this biz.

Here's the log from my latest test...

This is strange: After doing all that stuff, I just looked again, and Pegasus appears twice in the list of exceptions. Duh.

Take one out ?

Leave it in ?

A question just appeared in my mind: Would it do any harm to create a totally bogus SMTP machine entry, and use that to attempt to send E-mail, and then see what the logs will tell us from all this ?

e.g.,

In the "Sending (SMTP)" tab on the internet mail options...

  - Delete the Charter entry

  - Place something like "smtp.NonexistentMachine.net" in the address field 

  - Try to send mail

  - See what I get

Clueless Newbee at the controls here; so reigning experts; please don't let me get too stupid just yet. I can only imagine what Charter is thinking about me right now.

There's a new TCP session log file created for each connection.  When you restart PMail, the number resets to 0001.

If this is the windows firewall just turn it off and see what happens.  If it now works then you know that the firewall setup is bad.  If it works with it off then I'd remove both entries and create a new one ensuring WinPMail can use any port it wants to send mail.  Personally, turning off the broken windows firewall it's one of the first things I do nowadays.

Identical results.

I'm beginning to believe that, for whatever reason, Pegasus is not even trying to send any messages.

I'm trying to blame myself, for improperly setting some option somewhere, but I can't find the guilty culprit.

Shouldn't the log somewhere identify (at least an attempt to establish) a connection with the smtp machine ? I thought I saw that in a previous log file; with an error 8 timeout or whatever. I'm not seeing anything like that now.

The biggest "duh" remains in my brain: this all worked a few days ago, and I don't think I changed a single setting.

Should I delete the existing queue of out-going messages ?

log file; with an error 8 timeout or whatever. I'm not seeing anything

like that now.

If the debug mode is turned on then there should be a TCPxxxx.WMP file in the home mail directory containing the debug info for the SMTP transfer.  If you cannot connect it still should show that you are trying to connect to the server just like when you do this via telnet.

The biggest "duh" remains in my brain: this all worked a few days ago, and I don't think I changed a single setting.

Verify the Tools | Internet options for the SMTP setup.  Even if this does not exist you should get an error message saying a queue does not exist.

Should I delete the existing queue of out-going messages ?

Why not, can't hurt now.

Here's the latest log

That log is for POP3, are you sure you are hitting the right button?  Have you tried File | Send all queued mail?

 

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just turned off windows firewall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Identical results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m beginning to believe that, for whatever reason, Pegasus is not even trying to send any messages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m trying to blame myself, for improperly setting some option somewhere, but I can&#039;t find the guilty culprit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are no option to set, WinPMail just talks to the winsock when sending mail via SMTP. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shouldn&#039;t the log somewhere identify (at least an attempt to establish) a connection with the smtp machine ? I thought I saw that in a previous log file; with an error 8 timeout or whatever.

Yes, tried...

File - Send all queued mail

No action. In fact, not even a TCP0001.WPM file was created.

I tried...

File - Check host for new mail

...and got a  TCP00001.WPM file.

I tried...

File - check and send mail

...and strangely enough, I got three new TCPnnnn.WPM files, all identical to the first one. (so now I'm up to TCP00004.WPM in today's debugging)

I deleted all out going messages

I tried...

File - Check and send mail

Identical results again (by the way, that gives me two TCPnnnn.WPM files)

I tried sending a message to myself again; composing a one-line sentence, checking to see that it was in the queue, then...

File - send all queued mail

Hold it, I think it went across. What on earth could have happened ? Okay, here's TCP007.WPM...

Okay, it appears that everything worked. The message went out to my intended address.

Thank you Thomas. Thank you Paul

Just curious, all this problem; and the solution was just to delete the outgoing queue ?

Is that a feature ? A bug ? Clueless newbee at the controls ?

Just a guess but maybe one of the messages in the queue was hanging the send process. I've never seen this happen but with computers most anything is possible.

Okay, here's TCP007.WPM...

Not sure what's happening on your system  but this is a normal debug file.  Again, even if the connection to the outside host is lost you should get a debug file showing the attempt.

I&#039;ve never seen this happen but with computers most anything is possible. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay, here&#039;s TCP007.WPM...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not sure what&#039;s happening on your system&amp;nbsp; but this is a normal debug file.&amp;nbsp; Again, even if the connection to the outside host is lost you should get a debug file showing the attempt. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;--------------------STARTS---HERE--------------------------------&lt;/b&gt; --- Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:15:56 --- Connect to &#039;smtp.charter.net&#039; port 25, timeout 30.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Set the timeout to something like 120 seconds at least to allow for a busy server. &lt;blockquote&gt;14:15:56.828 [*] Connection established to 209.12.34.56 14:15:56.875 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0068 220 charter.net ESMTP server ready Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:16:08 -0500\0D\0A 14:15:56.875 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0023 EHLO [12.34.56.78]\0D\0A&lt;/blockquote&gt;You really should set a different EHLO string in the SMTP setup.&amp;nbsp; &lt;blockquote&gt;14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0017 250-charter.net\0D\0A&lt;/blockquote&gt;but charter net looks like it finds it acceptable so maybe you do not need to change this. &lt;blockquote&gt;14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0010 250-HELP\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0010 250-VRFY\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0018 250-XREMOTEQUEUE\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0010 250-ETRN\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0016 250-PIPELINING\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0009 250-DSN\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0014 250-8BITMIME\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0020 250 SIZE 524288000\0D\0A 14:15:56.906 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0050 MAIL FROM:&amp;lt;TheDesiredAddress@MyRealDomain.com&amp;gt; SIZE=448\0D\0A 14:15:56.968 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0071 250 Sender &amp;lt;TheDesiredAddress@MyRealDomain.com&amp;gt; and extensions (SIZE=448) Ok\0D\0A 14:15:56.968 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0039 RCPT TO:&amp;lt;TheDesiredAddress@MyRealDomain.com&amp;gt;\0D\0A 14:15:56.000 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0048 250 Recipient &amp;lt;TheDesiredAddress@MyRealDomain.com&amp;gt; Ok\0D\0A 14:15:56.000 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0006 DATA\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0044 354 Ok Send data ending with &amp;lt;CRLF&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;CRLF&amp;gt;\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0035 From: TheDesiredAddress@MyRealDomain.com\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0033 To: TheDesiredAddress@MyRealDomain.com\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0039 Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:15:56 -0500\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0019 MIME-Version: 1.0\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0025 Subject: Worthless test\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0067 Message-ID: &amp;lt;9999999Z.88888.99ZZ9ZZZ@TheDesiredAddress.MyRealDomain.com&amp;gt;\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0018 Priority: normal\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0043 X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (4.41)\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0044 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0033 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0040 Content-description: Mail message body\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0002 \0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0024 This test is worthless\0D\0A 14:15:56.031 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0003 .\0D\0A 14:16:01.828 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0085 250 Message received: 20081122191608.ZZZZ9999.aarprv99.charter.net@[12.34.56.78]\0D\0A 14:16:01.828 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; 0006 QUIT\0D\0A 14:16:01.859 &amp;gt;&amp;gt; 0049 221 charter.net ESMTP server closing connection\0D\0A 14:16:01.859 --- Connection closed normally at Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:16:01. ---\0A\0A &lt;b&gt;---------------------ENDS----HERE--------------------------------&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;[/quote]
