	Why can't I send mail?

Solution Your ISP may be blocking you from sending email outside their service. Restart your computer and verify you have the correct settings for your mail program. Our email tutorials are located here. The username is username@yourdomain.com and the password you defined when creating the email account in the control panel. For sending and receiving the same username and password are used. If everything checks out open a command prompt/shell with your operating system (Windows XP for example) and type "telnet mail.yourdomain.com 25". If you are unable to connect your ISP is blocking you from sending mail outside their service.

Now as an available option you may use port 50 as an alternative port for sending mail via SMTP.
