Port 25 - Charges $49 or $15 or Free?
First day with Uverse and my experienc so far is far worse than my Comcast interactions. I started live chat and was asking some guy from India about opening up port 25. He cuts and paste this blurb about port 25 being blocked due to spamming. I explain to him that my security cameras al older and do not support any other port. I called Connectech sounds like a callcenter from the Philippines and they basically said the same thing but can do it for $49.00. What the h^^ll. It takes a minute to do it and many of friends indicated that it is free. So he passes me on to Tier 2 which looks like a dumping ground for irate customers. Tiers 2 cannot do it and have to deal with the yokels with Connectech but unfortunately it will cost me $15 a month. He mentions, this is the only way to get me port 25 opened as it becomes a nightmare. I've been on the phone for the past 2 hours and ATT service is just horrible. I am about to cancel this tomorrow if this simple request does not get solved. I

It may depend on who you're sending the e-mail to. If the e-mail is bound for an AT&T address it may accept it without authentication (i.e. won't act as a relay, but will act as a receipient server).

Hi
I have had u-verse for over 6 years & had
- configured my IP camera to send motion triggered photo to username@att.net address
SMTP server config SMTP.att.yahoo.com Port 25
- e mails stopped working recently - so I called ATT & they asked me to set the new config as follows
SMTP outbound.att.net Port 465
The camera still does not send e-mails ...... Is the PORT Blocked by U verse?
How do I figure that out .... and unblock it?
Please help - Not a Networking guy ..... but can follow steps!
Thank You
/ Upendra

The new settings require you to use SSL as well, so if you have not enabled that, it will fail until you do.

I am trying to set up an email server at home for a class project. I have Uverse and my IP leads to... lightspeed.rcntx.sbcglobal.net, I did call them and have port 25 unblocked. (no charge) I need the host name for the relay server [smtp.att.yahoo.com?] and if it requires my account information for authentication. SMTP SSL required? I have PHP and MySQL installed using hMailServer and Roundcube webmail IMAP client under IIS 8.5. The only way I can test this is during Roundcube Web interface configuration to send test email using a created account in hMail to a Gmail account of mine. the test fails... SMTP send: "NOT OK" (Failed to set sender *****@*****.com) I purchaced a $5 domain and have the A Name, C Name and MX records establishead. hMail tests pass. MX lookup passes and I can access my site, so all DNS is working great!!! Any help would be appreciated, I am going to try with other information (outbound.att.net/sbcglobal.net) I found on this page. You can reply to my username above at yahoo[Dot]com with the subject line...SMTP relay server information.
Thanks

@harrytapp Here's the settings:
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB401570
You are only able to use an email client if you created a free att.net account before June 11, 2011.
Good luck 😉

I started with Att-Uverse in 2012. These look like settings for if you want to simply use an email client such as outlook. Of course this has always been a drag to have to pay for a premimun account in my free yahoo account to have pop 3 delivered to outlook.
The question here is having my own mail server...
Can I use the SMTP outbound.att.net on port 465 as a relay?
Would I have to enable SSL still?
Would I have to use my att account credentials for authentication?
I tried to send myself and email to an account in my server from gmail and got a return notice...
Mail Delivery Subsystem <mailer-daemon@googlemail.com>
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
Harry@mydomain.com
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain mydomain.com by smtp.att.yahoo.com. [67.195.15.66].
The error that the other server returned was:
530 5.7.1 Authentication required
This reveals two possibilites...
First: The MX records at my domain registrar need to be changed from smtp.att.yahoo.com to outbound.att.net?
Second: When I had them unblock port 25 did they only do it for outbound and not inbound?
I know ports 465 and 587 are normally not blocked and are SSL. Will they accept non SSL connections?
Thanks
