Hi,

I am trying to send e-mail via SMTP using Q24-Plus module.  
Every time i try to create an SMTP connection, i get “+CME ERROR: 865”

The command i am using is:

at+wipcreate=6,1,“mail server”,25,“username”,“pwd”

“mail server”, “username” and “pwd” are replaced by actual mail server name, actual user name and password.

The module information with AT=WIPCFG=3 gives the following result:

WIP Soft v311 on Open AT OS v315  
Mar 5 2008 14:05:37 WIPlib:v3a05 WIPSoft:v3a02  
OK

Pls help.

Thanks,

Abhijit

I found the problem.

Mail server that i was using was being blocked by my GPRS service provider.  
I created account on an public e-mail website ([www.gawab.com](http://www.gawab.com)) and was able to send mails thru their server.

Thanks,

Abhijit
