This is an issue for my fedora box only. I get the error that "the message could not be sent b/c connecting to smpt server failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing smpt connections. Please verify that your smpt setting is correct and try again, or else contact your admin. All setting are the same as xp and my suse partitions?? Does the permissions for t-bird have to be set to read and write for users to send mail??? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have posted this in three other sites forums w/o a single reply.
Can you actually get a connection to your SMTP server? $ telnet your.smtp.server:smtp (replace your.smtp.server with the hostname of your SMTP server) If you get a connection, type "QUIT" to exit). Paul.
