I notice there's a provision to enter a custom DNS number when sending through the MLK server. What is this for? Is there a better DNS to use other than the internal one? How might this feature be useful?

Warmest Regards,

Stephen

When I try the internal server I get this error message...

"Mail Delivery Error for 10@stephenhorrillo.com: Error: Connection attempt timed out (10060)
Closing Thread: 10@stephenhorrillo.com
Process status for 11@stephenhorrillo.com: Invalid Reference (SMTP Error) (10004)
[0] Action Connecting"


Then I looked up the "dns servers" uing the ipconfig command and got 217.115.138.24. That didn't work either. I got the same error message as above.

What am I doing wrong? I have no router. It sends via smtp fine. Just can't get the internal server working.

Hi Stephen

The internal server often requires changes to the settings on your computer because my default most firewalls will block local servers.

Firstly check that your anti-virus software (particularly Norton) does not have a worm blocking option turned on. Then check your firewall (or router) is not blocking port 25 or 53.

If that brings you no joy, please email me a sending log where you have at least 10 recipients.

(To display your sending log: Run MLK and click Ctrl+Shift+I. Choose the option to display your database folder and then browse to the folder "SendLogs" In that folder your log files are named "mail_sent_*.txt" with the date of the delivery included in the name).
