Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / May 2007Wireless Can't Send
I've used Eudora for over 10 years and am currently running 6.2.4 on an MacBookPro (Intel) 10.4.9. I use an airport network at home. When I travel (specifically to a place in San Francisco where I stay once a month) and access the free (wifi) network I can get all mail just fine but I can't send mail from Eudora. I can send from the comcast.net web site. With Eudora the mail keeps trying to send and eventually "domain not found". Do I need to change any settings in Eudora to get mail to send? TIA!

Some ISPs don't let you send mail through their SMTP server unless you're connected on their network. You should be able to find out from the Comcast support pages whether Comcast is one of them; while I'm a Comcast subscriber, I tend not to use their mail servers, so I don't know offhand.

Perhaps more importantly, many open-access networks do not allow any SMTP (i.e. TCP port 25) sessions at all, because they have no way to police the problem of spammers (and spammer-cracked machines) on their free network sending spam. When one is connected through such a network, the solution is to relay your mail through a provider that offers the mail submission protocol (which is a subset of SMTP that is run on port 587) or the Microsoft-standard 'SMTPS' which is SMTP over SSL on port 465. Eudora will do either of those as well as SMTP with or without SSL/TLS on any arbitrary port that a provider decides to offer.

In "settings" under Send Mail in Eudora is an option to "Allow Authorization SMTP Relay Personality" with an option for any of my 4 personalities. Previously it said "none". If I change to "dominant" which is a comcast address, will messages send? Unfortunately I can't test it until next month. :-) SignatureYvonne Sonoma, CA.

If I change to > "dominant" which is a comcast address, will messages send? Depends on Comcast. If you get a free gmail account, easy these days, I can provide invite, the answer would be yes.

No more need for invites.

I'm familiar with free email accounts but was was hoping to be able to reply from comcast and mac email using Eudora so I have a "sent" record and can file it within Eudora. It just makes it easier.

It just makes it easier. My reply via Gmail... --- This reply email is sent to you using Eudora. A record remains in Eudora's outbox. It was submitted by Eudora using a personality with the correct settings to gmail's smtp on port 587 using authorization. See attachment of settings file. Eudora can do this from any location/isp in the world. Gmail, not my isp, relayed it to you via their smtp server. Check the headers. The difference is gmail has a server on the submission port 587. The from address is not gmail's, it is my normal isp. (discussion... a smtp server must control outgoing mail somehow against spam. My isp, and probably yours, uses a ip address range restriction. Gmail's smtp server uses an authorization procedure through port 587) Cheers, Darrell SignatureTo reply, substitute .net for .invalid in address, i.e., darrell.usenet6 (at) telus.net |
