Hi All,

It looks like Orange supports sending emails only through Orange SMTP
server.
Some of my emails sent through Orange SMTP did not reach recipients and
after quick search on web I found this:

"Several other Orange customers complained they had long-standing
problems sending emails - because Orange servers have been blacklisted
by spam blocking services - and that Orange refuses to take the issue
seriously".

I have contacted unhelpful Orange customer support asking reasons why i
can not use smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk and was told that it is issue with
Yahoo (I know it is not), and that nobody in Orange can help me with
this because Orange supports only Orange email.
I used to be with Pipex and BT broadband before and was able to use
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk as SMTP server.

Any comments...

Thanks.

I have used FastMail's SMTP server without any problems on Orange.
