Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Using Optonline? They are plugging port 25

I'm pretty sure some of you guys here use OptimumOnline.

Yesterday AM I started to get an error trying to send e-mail. Typical 'Cannot connect to SMTP' deal.

I didn't change anything on my end.

I just learned Optonline is not allowing people to use port 25 except with their shitty mail server.

Luckily, most web hosts will give you an alternate port number you can use as the outgoing SMTP server and you are good to go.
