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

OK, cool, glad it's working!

I seem to remember that my RAID card monitoring software wouldn't work without authentication, but that was several months back so I may have been using a different server or they've changed something.

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

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
