Did you setup the SMTP server? With TB, you have to setup both the SMTP and POP3 servers separately. And in your email Account > Server Settings, you have to link it to the right SMTP server using the Advanced button. (In case you use several accounts, like I do)

Did you setup the username to be username@ispwest.com?

How do you know their mail system isnt experiencing an outage? Did you try it with another email client? How long has this been going on? Did you call them?

 

[Sentinel]

I don't, I emailed them, I did not

I pinged the server dunno if that means anything. I can receive email just not send it.

Their smtp server is currently up and operating (a little telnet to port 25 was the test).
