At performancing.com (ProBlogger community with at least 5000+ members) there is an active discussion about the hosting services and their applicability for bloggers. You could show off their and answer some questions.

Ok, it eventually works!
It works with port 250, but not 25. It looks like the connection to port 25 is blocked somewhere on the way.

Everything is ok for me now, but couple of points by the way:
1. cPanel's email configuration file sets Outlook and other mail clients to use port 25 for SMTP. It would be nice if it set up port 250. I wouldn't ask that many questions if the autoconfig file was able to set up the connection

2. When I select "TLS if available" in my Thunderbird, the certificate about some "server.justedge.net" comes. Not that it was too important, but I somehow expected the certificate about "something.t35.net".

3. Is it possible to somehow subscribe to the notifications about major T35 upgrades? Maybe some RSS news feed?
I use a number of non-standard options: bigger number of addon domains, a bit bigger space than usual accounts have, a number of CNAME entries, etc. Every time you have upgrades I have problems. If I was notified in advance, I would be able to prepare a list of my special requirements in advance

Whatever I do, with TLS, SSL, authentification, etc. or anything else neither Outook Express, nor Thunderbird can connect to your SMTP server. And it all started at the moment of your last upgrade.

I give up. I am sending my e-mails via web-mail now. Let's see if I can stand it. If I can't, I'll have to change the hosting (at least for my web-stores). I am sorry, guys. I really like your features, attitude and efforts, but the problems like this one explain pretty well why the other hostings are more expensive..

I've sent my email address to your forum inbox.

Heh, I wonder how much abuse you had, that you had to make security settings stricter.

Tried this all in MS Outlook (not express this time), it didn't help...
Could you, please, export the account that works for you and send it to me? I'll try importing it into my Outlook and see if it works.

Tried, it didn't help.

Tried, it didn't help.

I can't believe it works with you. I created a test account tester@goldenperfume.com with a password 123456. Could you try sending emails via it? And check if CPanel gives a correct email.reg file?

Normally I use Thunderbird, but ok, for testing I just tried using Outlook Express. I never used it with the current Windows installation, i.e. it was clean and innocent

1. I installed all the settings from the CPanel (Auto-Configure Microsoft Outlook Express® for POP3 Access). Saved the email.reg file and imported it to the Windows registry.
2. I started Outlook Express, it successfully fetched all the mail from the account inbox
3. I tried replying to one of the mails and here is the error message (translated into Englishg by me, so is not be identical to the English version of the Outlook):

Error during the connection attempt:
'<my email address here>', server 'mail.goldenperfume.com', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 25, Protection (SSL): No, Socket error: 10060, Error code: 0x800CCC0E

I tried enabling SSL, it didn't help, I've got the same error message, but with "SSL: Yes".
Note, that Outlook Express didn't even ask me for the SMTP password - it looks like the network connection to mail.goldenperfume.com:25 cannot be established, it doesn't come to the e-mail protocol layer.

It did work until 2-3 days ago.

Well, it worked for five months at least
The whole http://www.googlersblogs.com is built with the data fetched by the cron.php started by the GET command

Well, I know Unix very little, so I just copy-pasted the cron line from the Drupal.org recommendations and it worked well for several months until couple of days ago.
I tried changing the crontab entry to "wget http://www.googlersblogs.com/cron.php > /dev/null". It worked ok, cron executed successfully, but it is still not identical to my old good GET command.

GET emailed me only if some error happened during the execution and wget emails me always that is a bit too much. If you know how wget works, could you advise some command line arguments to suppress the standard output and to report only standard error output?

I also checked the CPanel's configuration files for the Outlook Express and all my settings match the CPanel recommendations.

The error is just "connection refused". I can receive e-mails via POP3, but cannot reply via SMTP.
I tried connecting to the POP and SMTP using standard Windows telnet:
"open mail.goldenperfume.com 110" and "open goldenperfume.com 110" connect successfully and I get POP3 invitations.
"open mail.goldenperfume.com 25" and "open goldenperfume.com 25" fail to connect to anything.

Just two-three days ago (before your last upgrade, AFAIK) everything was ok, therefore I assume there is a problem on your side.

My e-mail client (Thunderbird) cannot connect to the SMTP server. I tried connecting to the <mydomainname> port 25 via telnet and also failed.

Did you change the mailserver port?

The last error message came 23 minutes ago (according to GMail)

addon domain
my main domain is sanktrum.uni.cc

I keep getting the error reports.
Are you sure it has to to something with the address update?

The error messages cron keeps sending to me are:
"/bin/sh: GET: command not found"

I would expect something like "site not found" if it was the domain name problem.
