I have two main sites, an informational one hosted elsewhere and an ecom package hosted with netsol.

Verizon, after 6 years, has decided to block port 25 for outgoing SMTP.... The netsol ecom email is on 2525 so I can still send email on that. The other one is on 25 which is blocked now. I contacted our hosting co for that one and they can not or will not offer a different port. We will need to move the host apparently.

I checked through what documentation I could find and didn't find the answer I was looking for. Do any of the hosting or stand alone email packages, non-ecom, have the ability for send SMTP on something other than port 25?

The site is small ~30mb as is and is solely focused on an at most 50 mile radius of our location, but we do need to interact with our customers....

wow that is strange..... I wonder what they think they are doing blocking port 25.... I would imagine if you used notsol as host you would be able to use 2525. I would hope that isn't limited to the ecommerce package

PowederDay,

I checked into this and I can verify that all of our nsMail options will allow you to use either Port 25 or Port 2525. You can see more details on the following two help pages -

I hope this helps.

Thanks James. Neither link worked for me though..
I have the netsol ecom site email working just needed to verify that if I switch hosting for our non-ecommerce site to network solutions that I would be able to send email on a port other than 25.

Not sure why verizon changed its mind, but it happened early yesterday AM... I see no point to it but... I have no choice other than Verizon or to move...

They don't work for me, either.

I got the same result when I first loaded the page. I refreshed once or twice and they did appear. There may be changes going on for the storefront that are causing this right now, but I wouldn't worry about it. I'll make sure our storefront team is aware of it.
