SMTP send working for one provider but not two others
MP V2.68.5.3631 Windows XP Pro SP3
I have one mail hosting provider whose SMTP server I currently use ok. This
provider is not Virgin Media (who provide my cable connection). The working
SMTP server uses a connection defined to MP as:
host: smtp.aaisp.net.uk
port: 465
ticked: Encrypt communication with this server (SSL/TLS)
notick: Allow encryption to be negotiated (STARTTLS)
ticked: I need to login
notick: Don't save login details between sessions
When I send a mail using this connection the log file gets updated eg:
(209) Resolving host smtp.aaisp.net.uk...
(209) Connecting to smtp.aaisp.net.uk...
(209) Connected
(209) Connected
(209) <<<< 220 c.painless.aaisp.net.uk ESMTP Exim 4.72 Sun, 11 Mar ...

(209) <<<< 235 Authentication succeeded
(209) >>>> MAIL FROM:<jn.ml.gem.23@...>

(209) <<<< 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself
(209) <<<< 250 OK id=1S6sCd-0006yV-Jd
(209) >>>> QUIT
(209) Disconnecting...
(209) <<<< 221 c.painless.aaisp.net.uk closing connection
(209) Transfer complete
I am experimenting with a second provider, to whom I am considering moving
my whole wingsandbeaks.org.uk domain. For now I have an account with them
using one of their subdomains. POP3 collection and webmail work fine, but
SMTP send does not.
Whenever I try to send something via this new provider, MP doesn't produce
an error "!" indicator, & doesn't produce any error message. But the
outgoing mail remains in the Outbox. The test mails concerned would, if
they'd been sent, have arrived in another email account I have, but they
don't arrive. Each send attempt produces exactly one line in the mail-send
account's logfile, eg:
Mar 12 17:43:19 (369) Transfer complete
I've tried various combinations of SSL/TLS and STARTTLS options in this
provider's SMTP account definition, and it seems to make no difference which
I pick.
What really puzzles me is why the log file only contains this single line,
rather than anything showing the connection being established etc. It's
impossible to diagnose the cause of the problem...
I had thought that my one other SMTP send account (not recently used) still
worked, but it too does not - I just get the same single line in its log.
This provider is Virgin Media, but they've been altering their mail setup in
the last months, so I'm not sure I expected it to work anyway. But I do
expect to see more info in the log.
Has anyone any ideas?
