Outlook SMTP Settings


If you are using Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird, you must change the Outlook SMTP settings when using our email servers for SMTP; Many people do not use our servers and only use their local ISP. Make these changes if you have trouble sending emails. Squirrelmail and Webmail users are not affected by this.
Many ISPs are now blocking the outgoing port 25 of end users to prevent spam from their network. A new standard is to use port 587 and configure the e-mail servers of expiry.com to listen on port 587.
To configure Outlook Express, do this
1) Open Outlook.
2) Tools -> Accounts
3) go to the "Mail" tab.
4) select the account and click on "Properties".
5) Change the "Outgoing mail server" to "mail.yourdomainname.com"
6) Go to the "Outgoing server" tab in the new window.
7) Check the option "Outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and select the option "Use the same configuration as my incoming server". Press "Ok."
8) Go to the "Advanced" tab in the new window.
9) Set the "Outgoing mail (SMTP)" option to 587 of 25. Press "Ok".

8) Go to the "Advanced" tab in the new window.

To configure Outlook 2007, do this
