AOL Block SMTP port 25, please help .

[georgewong237]

Dear All :
Last week I couldn't send e-mail with AOL internet connection thru my company e-mail SMTP server. AOL claim that they have blocked the 3'rd parties SMTP port 25 for the purpose of stopping Spam e-mail attack. Now, they suggest that we can use SMTP port 587 for the outgoing e-mail under their link informaiton as following:

However, that will be a problem for us since many people are using SMTP port 25 and we don't know whether my company's MS Exchange Server 2000 can support both SMTP port of 25 and 587. If so, please advise how we can do so, tkx a lot..

BRs
George

You have 2 options:

1: change the port(s) - very annoying but feasable
2: move away from AOL - in my opinion, recommended
