MBM Not connecting to SMTP servers

[dsmith00d]

I just purchased the MBM and have not been able to get a result from it. After I have all the protocols set and I click on send mail the program gets stucked at "looking for mail.zipp.sk:25(my smtp) and it stays like that till I get tired and shut my vista down,

Please I need assistance Asap.

Thanks

Are you sure 'mail.zipp.sk' actually exists? I have tried here with Telnet unsuccessfully:

>telnet mail.zipp.sk 25
Trying 217.118.98.26...
telnet: connect to address 217.118.98.26: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Thanks for you response. I thought I used the SMTP to send a mail to myself previously using a net tool software that has a lot of free SMTP servers listed on it. Below are a few [they all just seem to stop working I guess]

ids.net:25
imap.satyam.net.in:25
internet1.soyo.ac.jp:25
istar.ca:25
jahwa.com.cn:25
jaring.my:25
jeflin.tju.edu:25
kontakte-international.de:25
kroner.ucdavis.edu:25
localhost:25
lonepeak.vii.com:25
loyola.edu:25
lsk.pl:25
MAIL.AFS.COM.MT:25
mail.aiit.or.kr:25
mail.airmail.net:25
mail.atcon.com:25
mail.audionet.com:25
mail.bedroomone.com:25

Is there a website where I can get a list of free SMTP servers. My deadline if approaching I haven't got things started. I really do hope this software doesn't fail me.

Thanks in Advance
