Please Help Regarding Mercury Mail :(

Postby Joe16 » 13. September 2006 02:13

Hello,

I'm sorry to be posting this as many Administrators may get angry as there are already open topics about Mercury Mail. I've searched, but I cannot seem to find a solution to my problem. When I go to the XAMPP page in my browser, and click on "Status", for some reason the "SMTP Service" is deactivated. Also, when I click on "Security", it says:

A POP3 server like Mercury Mail is not running or is blocked by a firewall!


I have Mercury Mail running, and I turned my firewall off, but it's still displaying this error. When I try to send a test email from the XAMPP page, I get an error that displays:

Error! The message was not successfully sent!


I've tried searching Google & this site for an answer, but have not been able to find a solution. I would appreciate it if anyone could supply any support on helping me set up Mercury Mail. Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Joseph

I know Mercury is running, as the XAMPP control panel says it's running. And Task Manager also says it's running.

I've read the help files, and I did everything it tells me to do for configuring Mercury, but it's still not working for some reason.

You need the following ports opened in your firewall, and windows firewall if running windows xp sp2, and if it's enables; and you also need these ports forwarded in your router if you have one:

smtp 25
pop3 110
imap 143

Do not send a test email from the XAMPP page, but send one directly with MercuryMail. To do this I believe you click on file -> send email, not completely sure as I do not use MercuryMail anymore.

Some ISPs block port 25 so that no one can use their own mail server.

Maybe this is why I get connection errors with the SMTP server? Ehh, can I call my ISP and ask if they blocked that port? If they did, is there a legal way to get around this?
