E-mail (SMTP) problems

SMTP problems usually arise due to incompabilities between the built-in SMTP client and the remote SMTP server.

The built-in SMTP client cannot:

  • Connect to web-based e-mail services
  • Connect to servers using SSL/TLS encryption
  • Use other authentication methods than AUTH LOGIN
  • Use DNS to locate the SMTP server, only raw IP address

If your ISP or employer does not provide you with a compatible SMTP server you can use some free e-mail services available on the Internet.

Compatible public SMTP servers:

Yahoo

Yahoo e-mail was tested compatible with Internet Gate's SMTP client.

Get your own free Yahoo e-mail account at http://www.yahoo.com

On the e-mail_page enter:

  • IP address: 98.136.185.95
  • Port: 587
  • and the From-address, username and password you have got from Yahoo
