Email Client Setup
How do I set up my e-mail program to send and
receive mail?
These instructions are for reference only as a
service to our customers. When tested, the instructions
were found to work with the latest available version of
each program; however, changes in the software since
publication may cause these instructions to become
out-of-date and invalid. We do not provide support for
these programs; if you have difficulties using these
software programs, please consult the software's
documentation or contact the maker of the software
program.
Due to a number of providers blocking the SMTP port
(port 25) in order to try to deter spammers and
unsolicited bulk email, we have set up a second SMTP
server to be used by those that cannot send with port
25. The main differences between the two servers are:
|
Description |
Normal Connection |
Alternate
Connection |

Outgoing SMTP
Server |
mail.domainname.com |
N/A |

Outgoing SMTP Port |
