| Baja Bell |
| Baja Bell is providing high speed DSL internet connectivity for homes in certain areas of Pescadero, and Los Cerritos, Baja California Sur, Mexico |
Baja Bell offers high speed DSL internet service for your home at $50 per month! Depending on your needs, there might be a small fee for the purchase of a home antenna/receiver plus installation, but nothing close to the fees you have to pay the telephone company (if you can get DSL service…). The phone company usually asks for a 2 year contract, over $30 per month for the internet, and lets not forget the basic monthly phone charge at around $20 per month. This mean that you will be paying the phone company (if they offer DSL service in your area) over $50 per month with a minimum 2 year contract. At Baja Bell there are no contracts to sign, and you can cancel at any time !!! For more info call cell 612-132-4710 or email us at info@bajabell.com |

1-12-08 Problems Sending E Mail Through Prodigy? (written by Alan Thompson)
I ran into this problem when I returned to Todos Santos recently and maybe others have, too. I
use Prodigy DSL to connect to the Internet, and I also have several e mail addresses that are
not @prodigy.com.mx. I could receive e mail just fine but could not send out e mail or reply to
anything I received. My e mail program would just time out and give me an error message
saying it could not communicate with the “SMTP server.”
Turns out that Prodigy has apparently changed their settings for how e mail is sent through
their servers. This was probably done to make it harder for spammers to hijack their servers
to send spam. Prodigy’s system is notorious for being a big pipeline for spam mail, and many
other Internet Service Providers have actually blocked Prodigy’s servers because of this
problem.
This change apparently won’t cause problems for your e-mail addresses that end in @prodigy.
com.mx. It also may not bother web-based e mail accounts like @yahoo.com, @gmail.com or
@hotmail.com, if you use these web sites to send mail, but it may affect your e mail
addresses if you use e mail programs like Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Entourage, or
Thunderbird. Here is how to fix this issue in two of the most common e mail programs:
Outlook Express - Go to ”Tools” > “Accounts”. Select your email account and click
“Properties”. Click the “Advanced” tab. Change the value in the Outgoing Mail (SMTP): from
25 to 587. Click ”OK”. If your e mail still doesn’t send, then go back into the “Properties” page
and click the ”Servers” tab. Check the ”My server requires authentication” box under the ”
Outgoing Mail Server” section. (You might also need to click the ”Settings” button and enter
your Prodigy.com.mx e mail address and password but test first before you do this.). Click ”
OK” to exit.
Outlook 2003 - Go to ”Tools” > “E mail Accounts” > View or change existing e-mail accounts
and click ”Next”.. Select your email account and click “Change”. Click the “More Settings...”
button. Click the “Advanced” tab. Change the value in the Outgoing server (SMTP): box from
25 to 587. Click ”OK”. Click ”Next”. Click ”Finish”. If your e mail still doesn’t send, then go
back into the “More Settings” page and click the ”Outgoing Server” tab. Check the ”My
outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” box. (You might also need to check the ”Log
on using” button and enter your Prodigy.com.mx e mail address and password but test first
before you do this.). Click ”OK” to exit. Click ”Next”. Click ”Finish”.
Other E mail programs will have similar settings to these two. You should be able to find
them under their respective “Accounts” or “Outgoing (SMTP) Server” headings. There was
also some discussion about this problem recently in the Baja Pony Express. You may want to
visit their web site at http://groups.google.com/group/bajaponyexpress3/web/234-1-2-08 and
review some of their back issues. - Alan Thompson, alan@todossantostechnologies.com,
