Using Secure SMTP/Blocked Port 25

Page 1 of 1

#1 by admin

What if my ISP blocks my outgoing SMTP on port 25 for outbound e-mail?

Then you can use TLS/SSL (port 465 / port 587 )

Outlook Express users:
menu item:
tools/accounts/mail/properties
click on servers.
tick "Outgoing mail server my server requires authentication (SSL)"
click on settings and put you user name in the "log on using" box.

Then click on the advanced tab
Tick the box "This server requires a secure connection "

------------------------

Microsoft Outlook users:
menu item:
tools/services/Internet Email - outlook
Click on the servers tab.
tick "My server requires authentication" box
Click settings
check the "log on using" radio button
in the "Account Name" box enter your user name.

in the "Password" box enter your password.
Tick the "Remember Password" box.
Tick the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" box.

Thunderbird users:
menu item:
tools/Account settings/Outgoing Server
Tick the box "use name and password"
enter you user name in the box.
check the "TLS" radio button.


Notes:

Your username is in the format of 'username@mydomain.com'
