Hello,

After a good couple of years of ownership I have finally got around to setting up by own web domain with matching email address (for free). I utilised, http://www.co.cc, zoneedit and socketlabs for the email smtp relay.

I have everything set-up on the Bubba running seamlessly (recieve and send via webmail, thunderbird etc) and even have the incoming email coming through to my phone (Nokia E72). However, I cannot send email from my phone.

Outgoing mail setting are;
User authentication = “same as incoming” – so if incoming is authorising logic should say that outgoing would as well
User name = my bubba user name, once again same as incoming
Outgoing mail server = http://www.mydomain.co.cc once again, same as incoming.
SSL/TLS = On
Port = 25 which I know is open on my router because I opened it the port to get at the webmail.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Is it actually possible to tell Bubba to send an email from my phone, rather than just receive and read?
Regards,
C

Is there any reason for you wanting your outgoing mail to pass through your Bubba? The most natural solution otherwise would be to send outgoing mail through whatever mailgateway provided by your mobile connection supplier. Or am I completely in the blue here?

I agree with DanielM. Odds are, your mobile carrier is blocking port 25 to all servers except their own. A bit of googling should reveal the server's details.

Hi,

I didnt want to send through vodafone because;
1) for professional reasons I wanted the emails to look like they came from @mydomain, rather than from a @vodafone email address
2) I dont have a vodafone email address.

I wanted to send from my phone - - to bubba - - out from bubba as i wanted to leave a copy of what I sent in the sent folder on bubba, for future reference.

I have got sending from my phone working using my socketlabs smtp, which is a workable solution. I assume I can get the sent emails to copy to my bubba sent email folder by sorting out the syncing between my phone and bubba.

Many thanks,
C

You misunderstand how it works. The emails still get sent from whatever email address you want, just the emails are sent through Voda's own server.

Also, if you're using imap and nominate the sent folder on the Nokia as the sent folder on your Bubba, mails will still get copied to it.

I have this exact setup with my iPhone using O2's SMTP server and a .co.cc domain and email address.

This is not entirely correct as many carriers replace the FROM: address during the SMTP routine with whatever is connected to the authenticated userID. But you'll notice this quickly enough. If I understand correctly you use port 25 for SSL smtp traffic? Normally port 465 is used for this, as the SSL connection is built before the SMTP session is made, and routing SSL over port 25 breaks regular mail traffic...

If they block both 25 and 465: my advice would be to enable port 587 on bubba (the smtp submission port) and see if that gets through. If not and you're really eager you can get postfix to answer mails on port 443 which is nearly always open.
