Bell System DSL,
Charter Cable, Cox Cable, SBCGlobal and
other ISPs are implementing "port 25 blocking",
so you may have to send OUTBOUND email through
THEIR server.
If this happens to you, you will find you are receiving
email, but can not send email. You may get a message
that your outbound mail server can not be found or
does not exist. Since you are receiving email from
that same mail server, you can be sure that it
does exist and can be found. Since you can't SEND
email out through it, your mail program is simply
returning this error message to notify you that
it couldn't send email using that mail server.
When you SEND email: You can only SEND email OUT
through your Internet Access Provider's outbound
(SMTP) mail servers. You can not SEND email OUT
through any other mail servers except theirs.
When you RECEIVE email: You can continue receiving
email at your domain name with your current
settings. You do not need to change anything
to continue receiving email at your domain name.
To SEND email, you must change your OUTBOUND
SMTP mail server, under "Account Server Settings"
in your mail program.
We have now opened port 26 for sending mail.
This will bypass your ISP from blocking outbound
email. This will be an option if your ISP has
decided to block port 25.
If you decide to use port 26, open your email
client (Outlook Express) , go to;
1.) Tools and then Accounts
2.) Highlight your account, then click Properties
3.) Click Advanced tab and change Outgoing Mail
(SMTP) from 25 to 26 and click Apply.
All servers now have SMTP port 26 open for sending
mail.
Thank you for your continued support.
