Re: Sending mail outside of Telus network
Unfortunately Telus blocks outgoing SMTP mail unless it's going to their server, so Catch-22: you can't use a non-Telus SMTP server from within the Telus network, and you can't use the Telus SMTP server from outside the Telus network.
You may be able to use the local SMTP server on the non-Telus network wherever you happen to be, but you'll have to find out some information and do some setup in Outlook that may be beyond the capability of the average non-technical business traveler.
Or you can use Telus webmail via your browser. Agreed that's a pain if you are used to using Outlook.
Or you can use another secure SMTP server associated with your own separate business web host. The problem is that not only will Telus block it, but other networks may block it also for the same reasons. The usual workaround is that you can use a secure SMTP port number which is different from the standard SMTP port number 25. Of course there's no guarantee that they won't start blocking that too. |
