This is an old thread. Are you having a problem?
Joe T.
Yes, My original problem was similar to this one, but I have since been able to send email. However, it is not consistent. Many times I get an error about there being an issue with my password, other times, as soon as the 'send email' bit goes true, it closes the socket connection for some reason. I can try to send an email over and over again and get very inconsistent behavior. I am using gmx over port 587.
I posted a new topic about it here,
But i hadn't gotten any bites yet, so I was looking around at other posts.

Were you ever able to get the error you encountered to go away?

I've done some searching but have not found an answer to this particular problem yet.
I have tried configuring my Unitronics PLC to send email, and have followed the instructions for initializing and connecting the socket connection to a gmx email host. However, I have noticed that when I telnet to the mail.gmx.com server through port 465 (the only port I can connect through), I get a connection for only about 20 seconds before it is 'closed by foreign host'. It seems like maybe the port is not correct? I have tried 25 (which does not let me connect) and 465 because I found those ports online.
I think the same thing is happening in the ladder code, because i briefly get a successful indication of connection, but then it gets reset.
Has anyone seen this issue before? I was under the impression that GMX was a validated email host to use with these PLCs, so am I doing something wrong?

So an update to this. I was able to connect to the gmx web server, but I had to use port 587. The PLC successfully sent several emails after I tested it, but I am getting very inconsistent behavior. Sometimes the email goes through. Sometimes, the socket closes immediately upon starting to send the email. Sometimes (most of the time), I get an error 13 or 15 saying that there was something wrong with my password. I know my password is correct, and I'm not changing anything within the email block when i am running these tests back to back.
Does anyone have experience with these issues?
