For those of you (Like me.) that their ISP blocks outgoing traffic on port 25- use 587. Cox blocks outgoing traffic on port 25 to suppress SPAM, you can only connect to their servers.
A little HSphere 'feature'.
One thing- you may need to go into the control panel and enable the default document, according to what you're using. (index.html, default.aspx, index.aspx, etc.)
It's Domains/Web Service/Edit (The little hammer)/Directory Indexes/Edit

This is my first post- hope to provide the occasional post with tips, pointers to excellent freeware, offers, etc.
First tip:
rfBackup- a totally free software to do backups to your SD card. Source code included.
Want to create some spoken phrase WAV files and don't really want to shell out the bucks for some software you'll only use a couple of times?
For example- I now have a nice lady with an English accent named Audrey letting me know when I have new email. (“Joe, you have new email.“) Just type in the phrase, check the “Display a link for the audio file.“ checkbox and you're ready to download the WAV file. (Put it in %WINDIR%\Media\ .)

Remember last year the satellite that was supposed to be snatched from the air with helicopters equipped with special hooks- but smashed into the desert? It turns out it's an example of how things can go wrong even after being tested to death.
The probable cause is that two g-switches (Accelerometer switches.) were installed upside-down. Before you blame the guy who assembled the PCB- he followed the design to the letter. In other words- Lockheed supplied the faulty design.

Try
SpamGourmet. After signing up at
SpamGourmet you simply use your newly created email address like this: PotentialSpammer.5.MySpamGourmetAddress@SpamGourmet.com. For example if your address is Joe and the site that wants your email address is Site.com then you give Site.com 'Site.5.Joe@SpamGourmet.com'. The '5' is how many emails you want to make it through to you before invalidating the address. Check 'em out.
