Using your ISP's SMTP server Using your ISP's SMTP server


If you are unable to send email using using your domain as the outgoing SMTP server:
  1. Find your ISP's SMTP server name and port.
    If your internet provider (ISP) is not listed listed below, please contact your ISP for the appropriate SMTP server and port.

    ISP SMTP settings
     ISP SMTP Server Port
    Access Wireless mail.accessmn.com 25
    AT&T EDGE cwmx.com 25
    CP Telecom (including Telephone Assoc.) mail.cpinternet.com 25
    Frontier mail.frontiernet.net 25
    Other ISP Please contact your ISP.  
  2. Set your outgoing server.
    If you use an email client other than Outlook Express, the menus and buttons may be labeled differently, but the process is very similar.
    Outlook Express 6
    1. Open Outlook
    2. In the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts..."
    3. In the "Mail" tab, click your email account, then press the "Properties" button.
    4. In the "Servers" tab, in the field labeled "Outgoing Mail (SMTP):" type in your ISP SMTP Server
    5. At the bottom of the "Servers" tab, there is a check box for "My outgoing server requires authentication."  Try first with this box checked, if that does not work, repeat step 2 with this box unchecked.
    6. Press the "Apply" button, (or continue to step 3d.)
       

     
  3. Set the outgoing port.
    Outlook Express 6
    1. Open Outlook
    2. In the "Tools" menu, select "Accounts..."
    3. In the "Mail" tab, click your email account, then press the "Properties" button.
    4. In the "Advanced" tab, in the field labeled "Outgoing Mail (SMTP):" type in your ISP SMTP Port (usually 25 or 26)
    5. Press the "OK" button.
       




If your ISP has provided the proper information, including the SMTP server to type in where it says "ISP_MAIL_SERVER" in the graphic in step 2, you will be ready to send mail using your ISP's outgoing mail server.
