<blockquote><strong>E 20090915 121135 a94 Error connecting to RBQITEXCHVS01.XCTC.CTC.NHS.UK.</strong></blockquote><p>This can be caused by a number of reasons.</p><p>1.  Port 25 is being blocked by your ISP and this is not your ISPs SMTP relay host.</p><p>2.  Port 25 is being blocked by your firewall.</p><p>3.  Mercury/32 is being blocked by your firewall. </p><p>As a test try using <b>Start | Run telnet tstephenson.com 25</b> to verify that you get the answer <b>220 tstephenson.com ESMTP server ready.</b>  If you do not then port 25 is being blocked.  BTW I cannot connect to <strong>RBQITEXCHVS01.XCTC.CTC.NHS.UK either. </strong></p><p> </p>

<P>Hey,</P> <P>I'm trying to get my MercuryC SMTP Client to work (originally used this - <A href="http://www.zoe.vc/2008/mercury-mail-transport-system-fur-externe-mail-konfigurieren/?lan=english">http://www.zoe.vc/2008/mercury-mail-transport-system-fur-externe-mail-konfigurieren/?lan=english</A> - as a guide), but I keep receiving this error message:</P> <BLOCKQUOTE> <P>In the Mercury Core Processing tab: <STRONG>Mercury MTS Core processing thread running/sent mail to... </STRONG>In the SMTP Client tab: <STRONG>Failed. Error FF servicing queue job.</STRONG></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>I've searched through this forum and elsewhere and found several people with the same problem, and I've gone through and completed the suggestions (double checked my SMTP address, increased the TCP/IP timeout, put my FQDN in the 'Announce myself name', checked port 25 is free). I have also turned on the error log for MercuryC and I receive this message:</P> <BLOCKQUOTE> <P><STRONG>E 20090915 121135 a94 Error connecting to RBQITEXCHVS01.XCTC.CTC.NHS.UK.</STRONG></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>A colleague using the same SMTP address and guidance on zoe.vc has succesffully managed to set up MercuryC, but he has a higher authority than me. Is it possible my network or computer settings are interfering with the SMTP address? Anyone got any other suggestions?</P> <P>Thanks for any help,</P> <P>Tiffany xx </P>
