Enrico Neri wrote a new blog post: SMTP not working 2 years, 7 months ago

do you experience problem on ELDY email, getting a “check connection settings”?

that might be because ELDY by default uses SMTP 25 tcp port.

Just set your ELDY with the following settings (obviously use your password and settings!)
