Index of Subjects Hi Wayne. Rude or not there are only so many hours in the day and we don't always have time to return every call, particularly the ones that don't leave a return phone number. In this case your problem is not one with Chebucto. As you've been told by another volunteer, the Chebucto SMTP (send mail) server can only be used from a Chebucto connection. This is the case for every provider out there - you can only use the SMTP server of your network provider. When you are on an Aliant internet connection, you must use the Aliant SMTP server. You can download mail from Chebucto using POP3 or IMAP from an Aliant connection, but to send mail you must use the Aliant SMTP server. To the best of my knowledge the Aliant SMTP server is smtp1.sympatico.ca and they do not support any encryption or require a user login or password. To the best of my knowledge your outgoing mail can still say it is from ayre@chebucto.ns.ca though not all providers support this. Since we are not Aliant and Internet Providers do not provide tech support for other providers, you should consult your provider to make sure of this information. If you have trouble with the Aliant SMTP server, you need to contact Aliant about it, not us.
