San Jose, CA | Looking for SMTP server for AT&T (SBC) DSL I have an AT&T DSL connection with an @sbcglobal.net e-mail address. I have a legacy application that can only send e-mail over SMTP port 25. What is the SMTP server that I can use (with authentication) to send e-mail?
I tried both smtpauth.sbcglobal.net and smtp.sbcglobal.net. While both answers to telnet port 25. The legacy application is unable to send out e-mail. |

| I believe 'smtp.att.yahoo.com' still works on port 25; for now. But using it will cause the service to send you notifies that you are using a legacy connection, and please to use the secure connection (port 465). Alternatively, if you have Windows XP Pro, Vista Pro, or 7 Pro, you could set up the IIS Virtual SMTP server on your computer, set your legacy email application to relay through that server, and set IIS to access any valid ATTIS SMTP message submission server on a valid message submission port (the ones you tried will accept connections on port 587, the 'yahoo.com' server will accept connections on port 465).
Or just upgrade the legacy application.

San Jose, CA | Unfortunately, smtp.att.yahoo.com didn't seem to work. Legacy application is legacy for a reason. 
Interesting idea about using IIS. I would prefer not setup another server and open up another can of worm... |

Interesting. It is responding to Telnet connection request from my location:
C:\utils>telnet smtp.att.yahoo.com 25
Connecting To smtp.att.yahoo.com...
220 smtp105.sbc.mail.mud.yahoo.com ESMTP
quit
221 Service Closing transmission
Connection to host lost.
Legacy application is legacy for a reason. :)
