Port 25 blocked for mail / SMTP server list
Posted by Dan Moses on 02 September 2005 12:16 PM
Many ISPs in the US are randomly blocking port 25 without telling their cusotmers. When customers report a problem then they will tell you that port 25 can no longer be used to send mail, as a spam prevention measure. They will allow exceptions if you request so, however. This will require you to fill out an online form which they can provide a link to.


A quick workaround to this is to change your mail client to use the SMTP server of your ISP. Find your ISP below and update your SMTP server settings in your mail client from mail.yourdomain.com to use their smtp server instead.
