Email access from the Seychelles

2 April 2010, 12:58

Friend of mine is on business in the Seychelles (lucky bugger)

I set his laptop up for him before he went and one of the things I did was set it up to pull mail from yahoo into his Outlook 2007 mailbox.

Worked like a charm in blighty, but in the seychelles he cannot send.

I noticed the port was 567 rather than the "usual" 25 so advised him to swop it out, no different.

It look like they are blocking SMTP traffic from his hotel.

Anyone heard of this?

I had something like that years ago. It's so you don't use skype or other stuff and use hotel services.

I don't have a solution, sorry.

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Is this any use?
