email port setting

Hi guys,

I have been trying to send emails via a jsp and i keep finding that the port is blocked

"Could not connect to SMTP host: mailrouter.umist.ac.uk, port: 587;"

I have tried a bunch of ports 25, 465..but all give the same message. i am working on the machines in our university campus so have no access to turn off antivirus etc..

any ideas?

Sounds like it could be a proxy problem. Contact your uni admin and ask them to open the port?

or the mailserver administrator is smart and doesn't allow just anyone to connect...

IOW, he's prevented his server from being a spam relay.
