Outgoing Email Setup

[schooner]

We have our incoming email setup and workign fine with Outlook, but cannot seem to connect to the outgoing server. Is there anythig nspecial needed to set this up?

What error are you getting? Some ISPs block outgoing SMTP access and you'd need to route email via their SMTP server

That may well be the case. I'll chekc with my ISP.
Is there anyway to use an alternate port for SMTP?

 

[Yash]

Yes there is sorry. From your Advanced Tab, for SMTP, select SMTP over SSL and use port 465 instead of port 25
SMTP sent this way are 128bit SSL encrypted. You can also use POP3 SSL at port 995

587 is an alternate SMTP port too. This is for standard SMTP without SSL. You can use anyone

Thanks, 587 seems to work.
