Can't send email

[doktornotor]

Add outgoing.verizon.net - SMTP - 587 - None into Avast SSL accounts and see if it works.

Doktornotor, you are a genius, it works! Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

[doktornotor]

Good, thanks for reporting back.

P.S. And shame on Verizon for not supporting encrypted connections.

I think I'll send them an email about it, see what they say. Are you saying that the problem was Avast assumes encryption by default?

Well, it tries to encrypt whenever possible. Whatever, with a tongue in cheek I would say the following explains the issues pretty much:

220 vms173009.mailsrvcs.net -- Server ESMTP (Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 32bit (built Apr 16 2009))

Noone sane uses java-based mailservers.

Oracle (formerly Sun) Java is not really opensource - with cases like this: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/08/oracles-java-lawsuit-undermines-its-open-source-credibility.ars

More importantly, Java sucks for way more reasons. Write once, debug everywhere... uh.  

The end of OFF-TOPIC stuff.
