tristatesportbikes Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Hi all, Great forum I just found it and it is a great resourse for you and all clients. I have a few clients that use email while traveling and with all the port 25 blocking going on with all the isps. I was wondering if there was anyway I could configure a different port for their outgoing mail. I myself have this issue also and I know I can set this up with an outside service, but would rather offer it as one of my services. I also have a few clients who do some email marketing and would like them to be able to do some email campaigns through their own email accounts. These are small acounts and send campaigns to no more than 1000 opt in users every couple of months. Thanks all and keep up the good work, Gary Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Welcome to the forums, Gary! Have them try port 26. If their ISP also blocks that IP then they will have to use their current ISP outgoing SMTP server to send mail. Quote

I guess if that doesn't work then I am stuck with them haveing to sign up for an additional service. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 You could always use webmail while travelling. So it shouldn't be an issue. Quote
tristatesportbikes Posted January 17, 2005 Author Posted January 17, 2005 You could always use webmail while travelling. So it shouldn't be an issue. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The problem with webmail is keeping records while traveling of outgoing emails. I know it is a solution, but whould like to keep it simple for my clients. I am on optonline here and port 26 is open on this pipe. I'll have some more testing done with one of my clients who is traveling right now. Are there any limits as to how many emails I can send using my own SMTP server? The second part of my first question. Quote
Head Guru Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 If 26 doesnt work Gary, drop me a IM. We can figure something out for you Bill Quote
Madmanmcp Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Are there any limits as to how many emails I can send using my own SMTP server? The second part of my first question. The limit for number of emails leaving the TCH email servers is 50 in 5 minutes. Quote

tristatesportbikes Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 Thank you all, port 26 appears to be working well for my traveling clients. Quote
