Here goes;
I've tryed opening port 25, ports 143, for IMAP, 110 and 995 for POP3, and port 80 for RPC over HTTP. And 25 and 465, 102, 135 and also asked Hotmail to change the port number that their server runs on but they refused
 
Next time the mail should arive I reckon...

Port 25 Blocking
 
 
Many ISPs are blocking what is called "Port 25" which is the port used to send e-mail. They are doing this to cut down on the amount of spam that is sent from their networks.
All e-mail sent via the Internet is routed through the port 25, the channel used for communication between an e-mail client and an e-mail server. Even though port 25 blocking will probably become an industry standard, however, the filter can create problems for e-mail servers and block legitimate e-mail as well as spam.
Port 25 blocking allows ISPs to block spam sent out through their networks, but it tends to punish the innocent that have a need to send through e-mail servers other than those belonging to their ISP. The ISPs that block port 25 require their SMTP server to be used instead of the remote SMTP server or a SMTP server running on your computer.
How the port 25 is used
 
All e-mail sent via the Internet is routed through port 25. When an e-mail server that runs on your computer delivers messages, it always uses port 25 to transmit data to remote e-mail servers. Therefore, if your ISP is blocking the port, your messages will not get through. There are two different ways the port 25 is being used by PostCast Server:
Incoming Connections
 
PostCast Server uses port 25 to accept incoming connections from e-mail clients. You can freely change that value in both server and client program and everything will continue to work because all TCP/IP connections are directed to your computer. Unless you block connections to your computer, the program will accept messages using any port number you specify (1-65535).
Outgoing Connections
 
PostCast Server also uses the port 25 for sending. It connects to remote servers and delivers the messages from the Outbox folder. Exactly the same rules apply except that every remote server expects the connection ONLY on port #25. This is the standard port number and while you can change the port number in the program to allow clients to send the messages internally, the remote servers always use port 25. If your ISP blocks remote connections to port 25, you cannot send any messages. PostCast Server will not be able to connect to the remote servers.

Sulky, the thing is, the guy just didn't send any messages. :flirty:
 
He just thinks he knows his stuff about everything.
He even thinks he knows the stuff I do for work better then me while he's only a finance-consultant.
I allready ran into him several times now while I'm not even living in the apartment yet...

Say:
"I'm sorry I've added you to my allowed contacts list in hotmail now, I'd downloaded a list of people to block because the arrogant C**** and you were number 3 on the list, it should work this time you send it"

"Right, I've opened port 25, you wouldn't believe how lax the security a "XYZ" is, I ported in with my Amstrad emailer with the password "Default" and it let me straight in. If you've any queries about your new bill I wouldn't bother asking it'll just flag up all the other changes, if the government call I'm away on business"

"Port 25? Thats irrelevant, are you sure you didn't forget to click send? Check your drafts. Don't worry, it's a mistake alot of armatures make even with these easy web clients. Much simpler that when I learnt how to program in Symbian to download my emails using IMAC on my Nokia (much better than POP3, I prefer leaving my messages centralised) because my train was 30mins late and I wanted to wish my Brother Happy Birthday"

Or any other unnecessarily long winded story which puts you up while subtlely mocking them.

You really want a beer at the LAN T-bag, lol.
I had my laugh with the guy as he replied back to me;
Ah okay, I think it should work now.
 
A short reply but I think h knows I was dissing him.
