Yeah, I keep failing to screw up the courage to tell the head of IT that he's doing it ALL WRONG. And don't get me started on the hard-coded 5 minute timeout on the VPN.

My peculiar situation aside, I'm sure it's not an uncommon user request to be able to send email from a laptop in an internet cafe.
while not in a cafe, i would love to be able to send email from my work's domain.. right now, every time a message is received on my tsi account that i must reply to i have to log into web mail, or reply from my work email (which i don't do because that could get it on a spam list).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20904944 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:02:51 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20904595 DrXenon : .]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20904595 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:50:44 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20904590 DrXenon : The company I work for, which has 60000 employees, uses Lotus Notes for email, and the only way you can talk to the Notes server is through VPN. Which means you have to negotiate a separate VPN session every time you want to send an email. Like I said, it's a hassle.

My current email hosting provider provides me with this solution so regardless of what provider i use, I can still send mail, I use SSL on port 995 with SMTP authentication...works like a charm...

Maybe get your email hosting provider to get something non VPN related. I doubt that teksavvy would do this, but if you're paying for a web/email hosting service they should be able to handle this request.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20904152 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:15:39 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20899034 DrXenon :

Then use the SMTP servers provided by those mail hosts?
Yeah, we could. It's a hassle though, because we have to establish VPN connections with these verisign dongles. We'd much prefer just to have TLS authentication on the teksavvy mail server, if it's not too much to ask.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20899034 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:02:23 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20896265 Guspaz : Then use the SMTP servers provided by those mail hosts?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20896265 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:46:34 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20896104 Angelo_ :

Yeah, that's great if you use your teksavvy account. We have email addresses that predate (by 15 years) our relationship with teksavvy, and we'd like to continue to use them, even when we are on the road.
you can *forward* e-mail to 1 e-mail address, all mail servers support this today, infact it is even *automated*]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20896104 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 02:46:52 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20895611 DrXenon :

Yeah, I think the teksavvy mail won't send out unless you're on a teksavvy IP, emoci.
Well, I have used it with Google, remember that you'd really have google sending the email via their servers, but the Reply-To address remains as TekSavvy...
Ahh, ok, I though it connected to teksavvy servers with your login to send.
If its sent from google with a "reply to:" then it would work.

I only use it for linking two gmail accounts, so I wasn't aware of how the sending works for 3rd party emails.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20894867 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 20:58:53 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20894749 Angelo_ : teksavvy has their own web mail... which works great on the road]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20894749 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 20:21:14 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20894703 emoci :

DrXenon, I only said Outlook Express since thats what 90% of people are accustomed to use, when its quite possibly the worst piece of crap software out there ;)
Glad to see you know better]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20893754 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 16:22:06 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20892409 DrXenon : Outlook Express? Please. She uses Thunderbird; I use Gnus. :-)

Thanks for the gmail tip.

For the record, in case Somebody Important is reading this, I'd still prefer authentication on the TSI server to the gmail workaround.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20892409 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 10:31:49 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20891798 emoci : The quickest solution would be:

-Get a GMail account
-Complete the verification process, which allows you to add your teksavvy email as a verified sender
-At that point you can use the GMail SMTP server for sending email from your Teksavvy acct.

(When logged into GMail it's under:
Settings>>Accounts>>Send Mail As Section )

You don't have to use the GMail account if you don't want to, you'd just be using the SMTP server...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20891798 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:03:47 EDT Re: remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20890931 recneps : You could use the webmail:

»webmail.teksavvy.com/mail/

You're probably accustomed to outlook/express, but it's a possible solution. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20890931 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 21:28:00 EDT remote access to mail server? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20890230 DrXenon : My wife goes on the road a lot with her laptop and because I have the teksavvy smtp server configured she is unable to send email. I understand that this is to thwart spammers, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to configure some kind of authentication to allow remote access? We had this feature on our old Sympatico account, and it is the only complaint we have about switching to TSI.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20890230 Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:11:08 EDT
