07:16:57.984: Connect to '65.55.37.72', timeout 60.

 Now, from what I understand, this might be an issue at the network side of things, as it seems to go through port 25 correctly, and is unable to connect the server for the email domain I'm trying to send to (in this case Gmail, but I've tried Hotmail and a company email as well and both do the same thing).

I am unable to ping or trace to any of these email addresses. Shouldn't I be able to? Also, am I right in assuming that the issue is somewhere on the network itself, and not necessarily on my side (i.e. some security configuration blocking access to a local smtp server?).

 Thank you for any assistance! :)

Check your firewall to make sure Mercury is allowed.

Otherwise, something is blocking your outgoing access to hotmail servers on port 25 - probably your ISP, but it might be that you have a non-static IP address and few big companies will take email from those.

Try changing to MercuryC instead of MercuryE and relay your emails through your ISP/gmail/whoever.

Hi everyone!

 I'm in need of a spot of assistance.

 I'm trying to set up a Wiki, using XAMPP. That involve PHP, MySQL, MediaWiki itself, Apache and Mercury. This is all run for now on Windows XP Pro SP3.

The Wiki part works fine at the moment. I'm trying to set the Wiki so that when users want new passwords, or when accounts are created, emails are sent. Now, the SMTP server for this is going to be MercuryE. At the moment, I'm just trying to get the server to work in itself, before actually making the link to PHP and the Wiki.

In MercuryE's configuration, I've entered my two DNS. I'm trying to send test emails to various emails, and for now it doesn't seem to work. Regardless of the email addresses used, I get messages similar to:

"7:28:56: processing job MO001312
Resolved MX for 'gmail.com' to 173.194.76.26

 The log given for this particular error is:
