tekiegreg Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hey guys, yesterday noticed I couldn't send email anymore using Thunderbird setup for IMAP, after trying on a different connection (Laptop IMAP at work) and succeeding I'm guessing my ISP decided to block something recently. A quick check of the Xfinity/Comcast website revealed nothing helpful about what they were doing so I'm wondering if HawkHost can be more helpful. Has Hawkhost seen Comcast do anything funny with ports lately? Any ideas for workarounds? Thanks! PirlWerbtit and Appawlclopy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hello, A lot of ISP's block port 25 which is the default SMTP port. You can get around this by using port 26 as we have that available as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a thought, if my ISP catches on to that one as well, I'll just get a VPS from you guys just to spite Comcast, set up my own mail server and play "Port Whack-A-Mole" with my ISP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
