Email ERROR: Connection timed out
Mike:
I also entered my info into the application similarly to the way it is in the thread you referenced above and still nothing.
Jan:
Your ISP probably blocks SMTP port. This does not affect ping command. Try Outlook Express.
Mike:
Tried it, SMTP works fine via Outlook Express.
Jan:
Fill the same SMTP settings into the silence detector. If OE works, the silence detector must work as well. It is tested for full comply with gmail SMTP. It seems the silence detector can't access internet at all on your computer as it is probably blocked by Windows security system or some 3rd party application.
Carl:
I am seeing this same issue on Win XP. I have confirmed that Outlook Express works with smtp.gmail.com to send emails, but the Silence Detector simply either hangs for a minute and posts the "Connection timed out" message, or hangs forever and I have to restart Silence Detector.
If I attempt to specify the port (example: smtp.gmail.com:465), then that hangs the Silence Detector software as well. Furthermore, I have tried it with Windows Firewall on and off, and also specifying an "Exception" for SD in Windows Firewall. The program never sends the email in any of these scenarios.
Is there a way to get a better event log of what happened at the time of the error?
