Why can't I connect to your mail server? I use Orange, AOL or BT as my ISP.

Some ISPs block port 25 for the sending of email via SMTP. AOL and Orange are known to be amongst such ISPs, though there are also others. If this happens, setting SMTP to port 587 instead of port 25 should allow you to send email through us.
