in reply to port 25 on windows XP

Does the client talk to the server if both are on the same PC?

if ( ( run on different machines && doesn't work ) && ( run on same machine && works ) ) { suspect firewall; exit; } if ( ( run on same machine && port != 25 && works ) && ( run on same machine && port == 25 && ! works ) ) { suspect internal firewall; exit; }

Either way I think the problem is an XP one, not a Perl one..

    Very sound reasoning that this is not a Perl question. That's the only bright spot of this answer ;-)
