I am having trouble sending email through my university server. I
am at
the Philly VA and use Mail (the version with OS 10.3.9) to send and
receive mail on my mail.med.upenn.edu account. Until about 3 weeks ago
it was fine. Now I can receive but not send mail. It makes no security
sense. I can send and receive just fine from home so the server is
okay.
In the past I used to send mail from the VA smtp server but U. Penn.
Stopped allowing that kind of aliasing.
Any idea what is wrong and why the VA firewall would block sending and
not receiving. I tried Thunderbird to no avail. I can send via Webmail
but that is very clunky and slow. I can send and receive with Outlook
using Citrix but I need access to my university account from the VA.
If the VA firewall is truly blocking port 25 then check with the
university to see if they have bothered to configure an alternative
mail submission port, like 587 for example. Possibly with SSL / TLS
encryption and logins.
This is normal, only registered email servers are permitted to exit
an organization because of all the Windows trojan spam engines.
