Problem sending email
Here’s a quick juicy piece of knowledge for you. If your ISP changes for whatever reason (i.e. you move) and suddenly your email stops working, it’s possible your ISP blocks port 25, the standard email SMTP port on most servers. All you have to do to fix it is change your SMTP port to 587, which is another SMTP port activated on many email servers for situations like this.
