    I managed to get access to Meteor's ISP access point, and I can retrieve e-mail but I'm having problems sending it.

    Does anyone know if Meteor provide an outgoing e-mail server (SMTP), the way Vodafone does?

    If it makes a difference, I'm a pre-pay customer.

    unfortunately anytime i've asked them they have say no, mid march was the last time resulting in this reply...
    We do not provide an SMTP server, you can simply us the existing SMTP server from your existing e-mail provider...

    may be worth asking again in case things have changed since then... i was emailing
    internetaccess AT meteor DOT ie

    Yes, I ended up at the same email address :)

    They once again confirmed they don't provide an outgoing email server, but at the same time that they don't block the SMTP port.

    Unfortunately because of all the spam on the internet most email servers are now locked down to take email only from their own network.

    I did manage to find a workaround for this, for only 6 euro.
    I've set up my email server with authentication (SMTP AUTH) and downloaded a small client application for Symbian called Email Sender - http://www.viking.tm/product.php?id=9 and it works like a charm.

    To see if your SMTP server supports AUTH just run
    "telnet servername 25"
    You should get a 220 response, then type in:
    "ehlo localhost"
    and the server should respond with a list of supported commands.

    Mine looks like this:
    220 titan.pcekspert.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian-7.1; Wed, 22 Jun 2005 09:28:38 +0200; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from: debian(OK)-debian [127.0.0.1]
    ehlo localhost

    Hope this helps others who're in the same boat!
