My email client (I programmed) recently has stopped being able to send
email with my XP machine. I have had 3 other friends test it and the same
thing happens. The program has not changed, but Windows XP has.
My program can connect to any other port (that I've tried) on a remote
machine. However, when trying to connect to port 25 (SMTP), immediately,
socket error 10053 occurs, and the socket fails to connect because of it.
The problem is not just with my program, but others such as AgileMail
( http://www.flashpeak.com/agilemail/agilemail.htm) and Simple Email Client
( http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/int...icle.php/c3441/).
The problem is only with Windows XP. I think it has to do something with a
recent Windows XP update. It seems like it may be some kind of security
issue whwn a program tries to connect to a remote port 25.
Yes, Eudora can send email just fine.
Does anyone know what the problem is? I am stumped. 3  3711 
did the firewall get turned on? What about the proxy client?

The firewall was turned on. I tried disabling it, the same thing.
And proxy client, I am not using a proxy. These programs connect directly
to the SMTP server, on port 25.
Belated response...
I've been going nuts trying to use blat, a program that sends smtp
emails. I've been using it without any problems for some months - and
now I get the socket error 100053 every time I use it.
However I've just discovered that if I turn my McAfee VirusScan 8 off
it'll work fine. No more socket errors.

Ok, I wrote a Honeypot in perl. It listens on port 25 and acts as a crude SMTP server.
It responds to the most basic commands(helo, mail from, rcpt to, data) needed for sending mail.
It has no way of closing the socket from the client side, so it acts also as a tarpit by not allowing automatic spam mailers to disconnect from it.
It does not actually send any mail, but simulates the situation.
Problems I'm having:

I'm having trouble with sending smtp mail. It's hanging after the
smtplib.SMTP() line. It doesn't works from home but not from work. What's
the best way to debug this?
# Here's my script
import smtplib
msg = "Subject: Hello\n\nThis is the\nbody of the message."
server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com",465)
# "Connection refused" normally means there is no server listening for
# connections on the specified IP/port-combination.
