said by Glen T:I just set up a new domain e-mail address with an independent web hosting company. I successfully set up SSL using port 995 (POP3) and port 465 (SMTP) as recommended by the hosting company. This works fine when I am connected via my home Shaw account in Coquitlam.
However, when I take my laptop to work (Burnaby) and connected via their Shaw Business account, my e-mail client (Outlook) fails to connect on port 995. There is no port screening (that I know of) set up at work (its a home office with residential router). Does Shaw selectively block (or use) port 995 for something (such as VOIP) in Burnaby?
Just FYI both of those port numbers are deprecated. Using SSL explicitly wrapped ports is the old way of doing things. The recommended way of doing things is using port 587 (the submission port) and the standard POP3 port 110 but using STARTTLS.
