    Hi,
    Recently got UPC broadband installed (previously BT) and noticed i'm unable to send emails although i can still receive mail. I assume this is some kind of server issue, just not sure how to resolve this. The Email server i used was mail.iol.ie when with BT.
    Are the settings different with UPC? Any help or a piont in the right direction would be appreciated. As a last resort i'll contact UPC :D
    Cheers
    Hopr:)

    mail.iol.ie probably only lets you send outgoing mail from their IPs.

    Not sure of the UPC server details .. but you can signup for a free gmail account and use that for your outgoing mail :)

    You have to use the outgoing mail server of your ISP.

    this is correct IOL's mail server will not work on non-BT/IOL ISP connections, use your ISP's or if that doesn't wortk gmails outgoing mail server can be very easily set so mail sent from it appears as you@youre-mailaddy.com.

    works on any connection and is extremely handy :)

    Thanks for the information guys. Just for further reference the outgoing mail server for UPC is smtp.upcmail.ie.
    Cheers
