problem with smtp, and sending mail

I needed to make a form to be sent to am email with asp.net 2.0 (which I still dont knowhow to do)so I need to set up the smtp server, but I was having problems with the forms so I tested my email account in outlook express

with the following details:
pop3: pop3.budgetwebdesign.com.au
smtp: smtp.budgetwebdesign.com.au
username: [email protected]









This also happened to one of my other accounts, I dont know what I have to do

Dear Customer,
yes, we've got the return message when test our mail server.
the problem may also related to your ISP , a lot of ISP has filtered the smtp port 25 and you will need to convert and use your ISP SMTP server in your email client configuration for your other domains .
for more information, please see our kb article at :

thank you

I?d also say that is probably it. However it will take me awhile to get around to fixing it, as I am using a workingSMTP server with one ofmy other hosting providsers thatusesthe post: 80 for their SMTP server.. Maybe I should try just uploading my files and I should not have this problem with the port:25 on your server?

P.S. I got my form to email back tome, as described in this post

Regarding to my last response, wouldn?t it be a good idea to change your smtp port number for new users if it is a hassle to access it on your home computer.
These are some of theinstructions godaddy give you to set up outlook: http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?se=%2B&app%5Fhdr=0&article%5Fid=355

Step 14: Click the Advanced tab.
Step 15: In the Outgoing server (SMTP) field, change the port to 80 or 3535.

Anyway. All's well that ends well.

Once I put my form (that used smtp/port 25) onyour or any server it worked,Just to clear up the issue, it must of been a problem with my home computer accessing this port, I would have never known.
