<P>Hi,</P> <P>I've been trying to get an iphone to successfully connect to Mercury for a couple of days.....</P> <P>Its connecting by POP3 and SMTP (authenticated) and seems now to be working ok receiving but sending is flakey. Messgaes will stay for hours in the outbox then get sent. It attempts a send every 3 or 4 minutes and the log shows a similar problem each time:</P> <P>15:47:13.234: Connection from 82.132.139.148, Wed Jan 27 15:47:13 2010<lf> 15:47:13.234: << 220 mannwilliams.co.uk ESMTP server ready.<cr><lf> 15:47:15.640: >> EHLO [10.28.150.255]<cr><lf> 15:47:15.656: << 250-mannwilliams.co.uk Hello [10.28.150.255]; ESMTPs are:<cr><lf>250-TIME<cr><lf> 15:47:15.656: << 250-SIZE 0<cr><lf> 15:47:15.656: << 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN<cr><lf> 15:47:15.656: << 250-AUTH=LOGIN<cr><lf> 15:47:15.656: << 250-STARTTLS<cr><lf> 15:47:15.656: << 250 HELP<cr><lf> 15:47:17.796: >> STARTTLS<cr><lf> 15:47:17.796: << 220 OK, begin SSL/TLS negotiation now.<cr><lf> 15:47:20.625: [*] SSL/TLS session established: 3DES, CBC mode, keysize 192 bits 15:47:20.640: >> EHLO [10.28.150.255]<cr><lf> 15:47:20.640: << 250-mannwilliams.co.uk Hello [10.28.150.255]; ESMTPs are:<cr><lf>250-TIME<cr><lf> 15:47:20.640: << 250-AUTH CRAM-MD5 LOGIN<cr><lf> 15:47:20.640: << 250-AUTH=LOGIN<cr><lf> 15:47:20.640: << 250 HELP<cr><lf> 15:47:21.828: >> AUTH LOGIN<cr><lf> 15:47:21.828: << 334 VXNlcm5hbWU6<cr><lf> 15:47:22.718: >> am0=<cr><lf> 15:47:22.718: << 334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6<cr><lf> 15:47:23.562: >> YnJ1Yg==<cr><lf> 15:47:23.562: << 235 Authentication successful.<cr><lf> 15:47:23.234: >> MAIL FROM:<blah<A href="mailto:blah@mannwilliams.co.uk%3E%3Ccr%3E%3Clf">@mannwilliams.co.uk><cr><lf</A>> 15:47:23.234: << 250 Sender OK - send RCPTs.<cr><lf> 15:47:24.921: >> RCPT TO:<blah<A href="mailto:blah@cccbathandbristol.com%3E%3Ccr%3E%3Clf">@cccbathandbristol.com><cr><lf</A>> 15:47:24.921: << 250 Recipient OK - send RCPT or DATA.<cr><lf> 15:47:25.843: >> DATA<cr><lf> 15:47:25.843: << 354 OK, send data, end with CRLF.CRLF<cr><lf> 15:47:28.062: 18: SSL read error -25 (locus 0, type 0, code 0, 'Timeout on read (select()) after 1 secon') 15:47:29.656: --- Connection closed normally at Wed Jan 27 15:47:29 2010. --- 15:47:29.656: </P> <P>Does anyone know how to resolve this?</P> <P>Cheers, Gordon</P>

You could try increasing your timeout or turn off ssl if you can get by without it.

Actually I see it is timing out after just 3 seconds so I guess that won't help, but I do know on my exchange server I have to set everything up and then turn off the SSL stuff to get an iphone to connect and I do suspect it is the same with mercury.
