Re: Possible to send MIME:Lite email with Outlook?

Make it easy on yourself, and ask the IT folks at “our company.” There are many ways that they could have set things up, many internal domain names they could have used, many authentication and authorization mechanisms, and undoubtedly many firewalls. If they know what they are doing, they will have adopted the principle that “everything that is not permitted is not possible.” Yes, Outlook servers can support SMTP, but that certainly does not mean that they will. If you have a legitimate business need to do something, either you or your manager (at some level) will probably need to make a formal request.

You could always try to telnet to the mail server on port 25. But as said before, contact your IT team. You run the risk of breaking policy.	[reply]

TCP port 25 is more and more reserved for server-to-server communication, clients should use TCP port 587 on "their own" mail server instead. Policies on both ports and often also firewalls are used to enforce this at several providers.

Bottom line is ... “guessing” in this case is both fruitless and pointless. Ask... Remember... we’re talking about Microsoft-ware here. `;-)` After they tell you how it’s supposed to work, you’ll still have plenty of opportunity for head-banging.
