Can,t send mail in t-bird or evolution.????

[potat0]

This is an issue for my fedora box only. I get the error that "the
message could not be sent b/c connecting to smpt server failed. The
server may be unavailable or is refusing smpt connections. Please
verify that your smpt setting is correct and try again, or else
contact your admin. All setting are the  same as xp and my suse
partitions?? Does the permissions for t-bird have to be set to read
and write for users to send mail??? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have posted this in three other sites forums w/o a single reply.

Can you actually get a connection to your SMTP server?

$ telnet your.smtp.server:smtp

(replace your.smtp.server with the hostname of your SMTP server)

If you get a connection, type "QUIT" to exit).

I don't know what the original question was...but if you trying to test SMTP
mail you need to use the port option in the telnet command.

telent smpt.charter.net.net 25

> From my end I get 
telnet: connect to address 67.15.129.30: Connection refused

Which seems to indicate that system is not running a mail server, is blocked
by a firewall, or the mail server is not configured properly
