I have a pop 3 mail box with 123 Reg and use AOL's smtp server to send email
for that address. Everything was working fine up until a couple of days ago
and I keep receiving this error message:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Subject '', Account: 'pophost.123-reg.co.uk', Server:
'smtp.uk.aol.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number:
0x800CCC0F
I thought AOL might be blocking port 25 so I did a telnet to smtp.uk.aol.com
and got this response 220 air-id06.mx.aol.com ESMTP mail_in-id6.3; Fri, 06
Aug 2004 20:37:15 -0400
which I believe means that the port isn't being blocked? Any ideas?
