The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Connect Failed : ?? telnet localhost 25

Asked by lilyyan in Network Software Firewalls, Consumer Firewalls

Tags: telnet, failed, connect, localhost, 25

Hello, experts:

I'm testing SMTP service in my pc:

IIS is enabled in my pc. In MS outlook express, when I go to tools--> accounts-->add (a mail account ), in the incoming mail server option, i  choose IMAP( i also tried pop3). In  the outgoing and incoming server name option, i input localhost for both.

when i try to send an email, i got the following error:
-------------------------
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'localhost', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
------------------------


I also did another test. When I set up another mail account in MS outlook express, in  the outgoing and incoming server name option, i input imap.myschool.edu and smtp.myschool.edu respectly, this time, i can send and receive emails.

Then in dos command , I tried to telnet localhost 25, it give this error:
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 25: Connect failed

I also tired : telnet smtp.myschool.edu, and got the same error.
My pc has windows firewall intalled and vrius scan.

Any suggestion,

Thanks for your attetion.
