Orange and SMTP

Anybody got the proper settings for SMTP using Orange broadband.

I'm using a third party domain name with it's own smtp server.
(eg smtp.mywebsite.com)

I've tried it with ports 25, 26, 465 and 587.
Even tried it using smtp.orangehome.co.uk.

    What happens when you ping the addresses? If you get no response try doing a traceroute. It'll tell you what point the traffic is getting stuck at. If its 192.168.0.1 then its your side.

    Hah. Found the solution.

    Emailed my hosts and they told me they had opened another port for SMTP especially for Orange users because of Orange's ineptitude.

    Problem solved.
