SMTP Server

[secgen]

I've set up users etc on my account for email, and I've been able to connect through my user settings to POP with Thunderbird and download email normally.

I'm trying to finish the whole thing off by configuring the SMTP settings to send email, and it's not authenticating my password. What are the authentication settings that would be up there by default? Can I even use SMTP?

Thanks!

Your SMTP login/password is the same as IMAP/POP3, i.e. it's going to be of the format <user>@<domain>. Chances are if you can't connect to the SMTP server, then your ISP is blocking port 25. Change the SMTP server to port 587. Failing that, enable encryption on it (SMTPS) which will also change the port to 465.

great thanks! I realized I forgot the domain name in the user name.
