If you are able to receive mail without issue, but are unable to send mail from your mail client and you are certain your outgoing mail server settings are correct, you might be blocked by your ISP from connecting on port The default port for SMTP sending mail is port Some ISPs block access to port 25 in order to try to avoid some issues with spammers.
However, this can also block you from being able to connect to your mail server to send mail through your domain. Are you looking to have incoming port 25 connections, or are you connecting 25 outbound? I will split the answer into two to cover both bases. If by "installs communicate on port 25", you mean that the software installation tries to contact other servers using port 25, that is a bad idea. Do not ship software that calls out on port The only outbound port your software can rely on for "phoning home" or contacting other servers is port And not only the port, but the protocol has to be HTTP.
Some firewalls allow port 80, but they also inspect the protocol and block it if it is not HTTP. ISP's block outgoing 25 because it's used by spammers to directly contact mail servers from subscriber lines and deliver spam.
That being said, of course you can ship software that sends mail, and that uses port However, that mail should go to an SMTP server which is configured by the user. Quite often, a relay provided by their ISP, which may require authentication. An application that is going to act as a mail server for a domain will generally not be deployable by users who cannot have incoming port 25 open.
Those people will need a workaround, ranging from changing their subscription, changing to another ISP, or using some machine in some other network as a port-forwarding proxy which forwards port 25 connections to the real server, using some port that is open.
But the bigger problem is that all the mail software out there will expect to connect to port If you're just sending email on behalf of an end-user, who originates the email within your application, use authenticated SMTP to port Today I released a feature on ForwardEmail. This solution may work for you. If you're unfamiliar with ForwardEmail.
ForwardEmail is a free, secure, and open-source email forwarding service, which allows the use of custom domains and disposable addresses. You will see a warning which explains that this procedure cannot be reversed — accept this warning and move on, and you will be shown a list of the current rules — this is created based on the current configuration of your server.
At this stage none of your existing settings are changed, merely transferred into the IP flexibility file.
Stop and restart the SMTP service. You should now find that you can change your outgoing server SMTP port in your mail client to match the one you entered in the IP address dialogue, and you can then send mail to this new port.
Hopefully most of SMTP servers offer their service through at least one alternative port in addition to standard port So, if MaxBulk Mailer can't connect to your server through default port 25 try to use port or If one of those ports work for you you can simply ignore this article. You can check whether you are affected by port blocking using Telnet. When you are connected to the network using telnet, you can enter commands and they will be executed as if the were being entered directly onto the server console.
However, Telnet is not installed with Windows Vista by default, but you can install it by following the following steps: Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. In the Windows Features dialog box, select the Telnet Client check box. Click OK.
