How to send .Mac mail when SMTP is blocked
If SMTP over port 25 is being blocked, you can use .Mac's alternate SMTP port.
How to send .Mac mail when SMTP is blocked
That's exactly right. Our company blocks port 25, as do many providers, because that is the most common port used by spammers that take over a system to send mass emails out. Use port 587 and it should allow it to go through. Much easier than savings emails as drafts, etc.
How to send .Mac mail when SMTP is blocked
The alternate SMTP port described in your hint and referenced in the Apple document is a proposed standard from the IETF for mail submission. It's intended to be used by MUAs (e-mail clients) for submitting messages to MTAs (e-mail servers), and it's strongly recommended that authentication and encryption (via STARTTLS) be required. The idea is that this allows ISPs to tightly control server-to-server traffic (which will still occur over TCP port 25) while permitting client-to-server traffic (which will now occur over TCP port 587). |
