SMTP using wrong port

[mattpont]

A webform written using PHP was meant to send out emails via SMTP. However the port was set to 30 rather than 25 and therefore the emails were never sent.

Is there any hope of retrieving the emails (the data inside - not just what is stored in the logs, i.e. who sent, where, and when)? Or am I being rather optimistic!

I don't think you can. It will have gone to something none existent if it used port 30 and therefore will not have been stored anywhere.

When you fixed the port number, did all the old emails go out? Did you check to see if the SMTP on that box has a queue?

Thanks guys, there is a queue, but only for 2 days so we've lost quite a few. Ho Hum.
