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.
