MercuryE Connection error / unable to send e-mails / v4.72

posted Sep 2 '09 at 9:32 pm

I'm having trouble sending e-mail (I can receive e-mail ok)

Here is the message I get in my SMTP Client (end-to-end version) window:

8:12:31: processing job MO000892
Resolved MX for 'yahoo.com' to 209.191.118.103
Connecting to 216.39.53.2
Connection error.
Attempting connection to alternate, 209.191.118.103
Connection error on alternate.
Attempting connection to alternate, 98.137.54.237
Connection error on alternate.
Attempting connection to alternate, 67.195.168.31
Connection error on alternate.

---------------------------------------------------------

Can someone explain what is going on and how to resolve this? I'm running Windows 7, router has the necessary ports forwarded, my ISP is AT&T.

Thanks,

Jim

Here is my config file:

# MERCURY.INI generated by Mercury Setup

# Sample Bindery Mode / Standalone Mode MERCURY.INI file.

# This sample file implements most of the possible switches for each

# module, but you can edit it to do less if you wish.

# Anything after a '#' to the end of the line is a comment and

# is stripped out before parsing. Trailing and leading whitespace

# is also stripped before parsing. Many sample commands have been

# left in this file commented out for reference purposes.

# Note that in general, manual modification of this file is NOT

# RECOMMENDED - use the Mercury "Configuration" menu to change the

# program's settings wherever possible.
