Anyone currently using Turnpike with BT broadband/Infinity/btinternet.com?
congokid
in a different way.
Do the xx...@btinternet.com username and BT supplied password work
immediately or what else do I need to do?
So far I haven't been able to send or receive emails using the above
username (it's actually an email address specific to me and provided by
BT) via Turnpike.
I've already changed the Turnpike Connect connection settings so that BT
Internet appears as my ISP, set for external connection (the alternative
is via modem which I assume no longer applies as I've got BT's broadband
boxes attached), inserted ISP details which includes CHAP userid (the
username mentioned above) and CHAP password (supplied), though I haven't
changed the DNS addresses (should I?).
A BT call centre agent talked me through a lot of the above.
Host is configured to btinternet.com
Email is configured for sending via the mail.btinternet.com gateway with
SMTP servers enabled for receiving email, and POP3 accounts is also
enabled. I have two items in the list - one the username as above and
the other the username without the @btinternet.com bit.
What I want to do is redirect mail from various domains that I own,
which are currently going to Googlemail, to the BT address and have them
all on my PC which has Turnpike.
Earlier someone mentioned the 533 error message, but I think that's BT
specific and to do with adding accounts.
I'm seeing a '503 Wrong sequence of commands' error message when I try
to send. Messages to my BT email address end up in my BT Yahoo webmail
account, which I'm currently trying to figure out as well.
Happy to provide any further useful information that I've left out.

OK, although I'm using a Mac for this reply, I'm connected to BT with
Infinity as my ISP. I just fired up an XP box using TP 6.07. (I
changed nothing from my old BT non-Infinity connection and it downloaded
mail.
Here are my setings:
Configure / Service Access:
"change details for: BT Internet
CHAP user ict: mybtus...@btinternet.com
CHAP password: my BT Password
DNS Address : 194.74.65.69
194.72.9.34 (I have no memory of where these
came from)
Configure Host:
Domain name: btinternet.com
This machine: btinternet.com
Organisation : my business name
Local email: blank
Accept mail for: list of email boxes
Allow person alities to use other domain names: ticked
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . organization text:
ticked
Email Transfer
Settings for ISP: BT Internet
Sending email (by SMTP)
Browse enabled: ticked
Deliver" enabled: ticked
Mail gateway: mai.btinternet.com
Password button"
Log on using: ticked
Full Bt username and password
Receiving email:
Rowse and Deliver both ticked
Enable SMTP server - *not ticked
Enable POP3 accounts
list of 7 acconts in my case, using Add
Clicking Ecit for one of these shiows:
Server name: individual POP3 server name (BT: mail.btinternet.com)
Port: POP3
Mailbox: Mailbox username (for BT full BT username)
Password: mailbox password (for BT usual password)
Fetch all left blank in my case, Mirror ticked - I like to leave all
mail on the server unless deleted / moved.
Use APOP authentication: blank
Also enabled for other ISPs: ticked
Add Address to Windows Address Book: blank in my case but up to you.
Mail servers: all blank incl. debug info.
I can give you ews settings too if you like.
If you have any questions, please come back - decypher my emai address
if you like - obg before the @, remove nospam and put the missing stop
bck between co and uk. But please make the subject obvious and try
again if I don;'t get back in a day or so - I get hundreds of spam daily
and try to make sure I don't miss anything.

this is demon.service... so although some strange people do hang around
(apparently for old-times sake) you're not likely to get a very good
answer here to a problem which appears to affect a specific piece of
software and an entirely different ISP :(

You're more likely to get a helpful reply on demon.ip.support.turnpike,
where you may well find some BTInternet users.

idea to try to receive e-mails simultaneously by SMTP and POP3.
I think Duncan also agrees with me.
I don't know if this will cure your problem but it is at least something
in your setting which is incorrect.

some people do not like 'punters' thinking that everybody are stupid,
idiots like they are..
so no point of rephrasing the questions when no reply posted...

Thanks Richard - I did mean to post to dist.
Apologies to all and thanks also for the useful replies which I will
look into today.

I would argue that there IS merit in rephrasing a question, especially
if you genuinely want a reply and at first don't get one.

says...
Can Turnpike (I don't use, so don't know it) use POP3 over SSL? If so,
GMail supports that nicely, and SMTP over SSL too. There's a ton of
stuff on t'interweb about setting up Outlook (shudder) and other clients
to do all that, most of the info is easy to recognise and translate into
what other mail clients use. I've got Pegasus Mail configured to use
GMail like this, and it works very well, from anywhere (even mobile 'net
connections.)
Of course, it does require the client to be able to initiate and handle
SSL of course. As above, I don't know Turnpike (never used it) so
don't know if it can.
But if it can, then that way, you can keep all your redirections, and
just use GMail as your mail server, regardless of your (current or
future ISP).
Just a thought.
