Title: Bluetooth And Email Sending
Post by: Cresho on March 13, 2005, 03:55:50 pm

i think i have a small problem.

i have a zaurus and a s56 siemens cell phone.  my zaurus connects to the internet via 56kflashmodem or pretec wifi or bluetooth linked to my cell phone from anywere with unlimited data restriction.  i can pretty much do anything.

but one thing.


i use kop/pi mail version 2  with openssl   but i cant recall the versions.  I can link with my bluetooth and browse the net, collect email but...........................


i cannot send emails?  it says error sending mail.  mailbox unavailable.  but it does work with wifi

Are you sending mail using your cell phone network's SMTP server?

SMTP servers are usually locked down such that you can only send mail with them while on the same network/ISP.

thanks man for your reply especially.  I use your bluetooth files and got everything set up and running nicely with a siemens s56.

Anyway, what you said does make sense but when i use my wifi, it can up the email and i jujst dont understand why it doesnt work with bluetooth.  Ill play with the settings a bit more i just havent had time this week to fix the problem.

this is my setup.  My email is of course from earthlink.  my cellphone was at&t and now belongs to cingular.  My home internet is charter cable.

so i connect zaurussl5500 to s56 through bluez to cingular and access email from earthlink.  i have 2 ways of collecting email  smtpauth or smtp.  use secure sockets only when available and sometimes i play with the user login.  ill add more as i come around.  Ill be more accurate on the next post after my test tomorrow cuz i need to study now.

thanks tumnus.

Yup, as I said, most SMTP servers will not allow you to connect to them unless you are on the same network (Earthlink's in this case). smtp.earthlink.net is setup just like that, but there are also servers that you can connect to from anywhere as long as you provide a registered username/password like you can with smtpauth.earthlink.net.
