It's a really freakin' huge oversight on Pioneer's side. You think not changing SMTP ports is a basic networking function? How about not including an option to enter a DNS server? Why do you think you have to get the IP of your SMTP server? Because Pioneer didn't have an option for DNS, which resolves a name to an IP address. How would you like it if your ISP made you use an IP to surf the internet? You want to go to Google? You better enter http://209.85.173.103 in your browser instead. Seriously Pioneer? Seriously?
NOTE: For PRO-101FD, PRO-141FD, KRP-500M and KRP-600M.
If you want to send an email a couple times a month/once a week:
You can use this free SMTP server: http://www.softstack.com/freesmtp.html - Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista
Once Installed, select: Specific DNS Server (and enter a valid DNS Server for your network, you can check your router for this info).
TIP: Make sure you do use this option as Autodetect may have issues on some networks).
On the Signature side:
Sender Address: Your email address
Mail Server(SMTP): Enter the IP address of the computer on your network running the Free SMTP Server above
Authentication: Off
ID: Leave Blank
Password: Leave Blank
Receiver Address: Your email address
Simply run the Free SMTP Server when you want to send an email (manually click on TEST MAIL on the Signature's web interface).
I've tested that Free SMTP Server on my network, laptop and 141 - works good.
NOTE: If your ISP blocks Port 25 this won't work and you will need to run a complete mail server on your private network (both SMTP and POP3).
