Smtp Down - Relay.cat.net.th

Since yesterday I don't seem to be able to use CAT's SMTP server. Anybody else affected?

Would never use a Thai SMTP service. Half the time they are banned by recipient and the rest of the time they just don't work.

Setup a Google SMTP - works every time!

smtp.gmail.com - port 587

Thanks for your tips. I already do use the Gmail SMTP as a temporary solution but would rather switch back.

Guess I may have to call CAT support then, as it seems nobody else has the same problem.

The reason I like this one is that I have used their SMTP without problems for 6 years already, so whatever issues there are with Thai ISP SMTPs don't seem to have affected this one - in my case at least.

The positive side of using a local SMTP server is that it doesn't take ages to send emails with attachments. When I route stuff through Gmail, large attachments sometimes time out.
