Hi sunsail. From the post, it looks like you're using the special angled (� �) double-quote characters instead of the normal (") ones. Try single-quotes for everythign instead.

Also, please use [code] tags around your command lines and log output.

Hi Otheus

it's strange because I copy these lines from notepad and when I copy them they return to doubleqoute chars
you are very careful,though

Kind Regards

So are you copying from notepad into command line?

I copy from notepad to commandline and here.

There you go. Use single-quotes. Make sure when you paste that the quote marks are either straight up-and-down or always slanted to the left.

I tried.nothings has changed.I still receive this in the log file
"stat=Deferred: Connection timed out"

Thanks

Has outbound emails worked in the past? Does it work without a subject? Does it work for the local user?
