After much shouting at the computer I now have a test site working on a win 2003 iis server. However I cannot get the smtp to work.
I'm using a reseller account I already have with perl etc all set up, before trying to configure my dedicated.
If I put in localhost it passes all the tests but the test email and order notifications etc do not arrive (I've changed it under business settings to a valid email).
If I set it to an actual smtp server that I know is working and I use daily with mail.mysmtpservername.com and the username and password, actinic moans that it is not a valid smtp server.
It certainly is a valid server, and so are the settings because it's my main email account.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I need to check?
