Hi all,
Running 18.04 and Thunderbird 68.8.04 on Cox. Can't send anything out. Pretty sure Cox blocks port 25 and requires the use of its SMTP server per
https://sites.google.com/view/cox-imap-smtp-settings/. I will probably call them tomorrow, but...
- How could I confirm that a port is blocked? I ran netstat -tunlp and sudo ufw status. 25 wasn't running, but doesn't mean it couldn't be (right?), and ufw isn't running.
- Other than waiting for the Thunderbird GUI to report an error, is there a way for me to see what's going on under the hood? There's gotta be a log I can check.
Here are the last few lines of my syslog:

Thanks all!
