ATT DSL and email in Virtual Private Networking http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20178524 en Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:57:16 EDT Fri, 29 Aug 2008 20:57:16 EDT Re: ATT DSL and email http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20328108 weaseled386 : I've had the same exact issue with ATT down in Florida. ATT restricts PORT 25. I was using ATT DSL at the house, but trying to send/receive email across my work servers. I didn't have to do anything special to receive mail, but I had to switch over to my Verizon aircard to send. I've since switched over to my local cable company (Brighthouse Networks) and I was automatically able to send...

They filter port 25 in an attempt to reduce spam mail going across their servers. In some areas you can fill out a form and ask them to remove the filter. Since I'm with the former BellSouth it didn't work for me... The forms I saw was intended more for SBC. Hopefully this won't be an issue when I switch to U-verse later this year...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20328108 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 17:17:16 EDT Re: ATT DSL and email http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20180342 anon :

I have internet access and I can receive email using my email settings, but I can not send.

In my accounts option I have it set to incoming mail.xxx.xxx and outgoing the same. I am not using ATT supplied email. I need to get out to my mail server (www.pandlstrategies.com)
Incoming mail server mail.xxx.xxx
Outgoing mail server mail.bellsouth.net (or whatever email server ATT uses near you)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20180342 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:58:27 EDT ATT DSL and email http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20178524 anon : Hi I am trying to work remotely and I have a problem with email. I am running Vista and Windows Mail and connecting to the internet using a Linksys wireless router connected through ATT DSL. I have internet access and I can receive email using my email settings, but I can not send.

In my accounts option I have it set to incoming mail.xxx.xxx and outgoing the same. I am not using ATT supplied email. I need to get out to my mail server (www.pandlstrategies.com) which is where it is all sitting. I tried turning on SSL and changing the Pop3 to 965 and the SMTP to 465 but it still doesnt let me send. I get the server not found error. I even changed the SMTP to att.sbcglobal.yahoo.com (or whatever the page said to name it).

Any suggestions? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20178524 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:35:24 EDT
