Can't send mail in OS X 10.0.3

[ray]

When using the Mail application in OS X 10.0.3 I am unable to send email through any smtp server (i.e., smtp.mac.com, mail.earthlink.net). Keep getting an error saying that the server refused to open port25.

When using Outlook Express in OS 9.1 I am able to send email through both of the smtp servers listed above. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hmmm.... apparently you're not the only one with this problem... you'll want to take a look at this...

it says it's not required for 10.0.2 or higher, but it's all I could find. Hope it helps

thanks! I'll check it out, though I am a bit cautious since the fix if for os x 10.0.2 and earlier.

why are you still using 10.0.3?

Actually, I'm using 10.0.4 now and still have that problem. I've noticed that if I switch ISP's (i.e. if I switch to Earthlink) I am able to send. With my other ISP (Metconnect), which is who I want to stay with, I am unable to send.

Any ideas other than switching ISPs?
