Afrihost SMTP server down?

[kaaskop]

Is anybody else experiencing problems with afrihost outgoing mail?

I can ping smtp.afrihost.com fine but get timeout errors when sending email. Browsing is fine.

Not sure if this is related or not, as I am not using an Afrihost e-mail account, but I had a problem with sending my e-mails as well.
I changed my smtp server to smtp.isdsl.co.za and that seemed to sort out my problem.

Oi IS server not working for me.

Must untick the option that says: My outgoing server requires authentication, or some or another.

Here we go again. Worked well for 2 weeks and the same problem again.
