Re: Firewall and Outgoing Email |

Here's some info..
http://www.postcastserver.com/help/Anti-Spam/Port%2025%20Blocking.htm
| I've recently added a 2nd email account to Outlook. This new account
| is not from my ISP so the SMTP server requires authentication (same
| username and password as the POP server). It worked OK for the first
| few days and then suddenly I couldn't send any email (incoming email
| was OK). My Windows XP firewall was enabled and someone suggested
that
| it might have something to do with the firewall and that I switch
the
| SMTP port from 25 to 587. I did that and everything has been fine
| since then (for the past 3 days).
|
| Was it really my XP firewall that caused the problem, and if so, is
| there any way I can reconfigure my firewall to allow outgoing email
to
| pass through without having to switch the port? One disadvantage I
| notice about switching the SMTP port is that Norton Antivirus no
| longer scans the outgoing email.
|
| Thanks.
