Can't send e-mail at all

OnFairyWingsDesigns · #1 04-01-2008, 08:22 AM

Hello!

Lovely AT&T has changed the way that they allow the e-mail to go through and it's made it so that I can't send e-mail at all.

They claim that the only way that they will let outgoing e-mail go through is via POP3 SSL in port 995.

Anyone have any hints or ideas on how to get my e-mail outgoing again?

It will download my mail after I ok the certificate constantly (which is a pain, but at least it works) but AT&T just keeps refusing the SMTP connection.

Thanks in advance!
Have a great day!

Heather,
Try this HostGator knowledge base link.

Talks about trying port 26 instead of 25.

Thanks!

I found that one and it didn't do a thing for me. I'm ready to pull out my hair.

Have a great day!

So have you configured your email client to use either IMAP or POP3/SSL ?

My ISP "was" BellSouth, now ATT. I got this problem this morning. The way I fixed was to used BellSouth's as SMTP: mail.bellsouth.net I guess for ATT's will be the same: mail.att.net

BTW, I tried switching to Port 26 but didn't work.

If you are having trouble sending mail using SBC, AT&T, Yahoo outgoing mail server, as I did, you may want to read the info at the following link on "Verifying Your Alternate Email Address".
