SMTP - gENERIC?

[leogreeff]

Is there a solution to having to change your smtp between:
1. Office - Telkom Mobile
2. Home - Telkom ADSL
3. Roaming - Wi-fi
4. Vodacom

Is there maybe a generic SMTP or settings that can be used that will allow me to send emails from any of the above without going to change SMTP?

I'm using Outlook 2010..
ISP - Telkom

Thank you

Who is your Email Provider?

They usually have a SMTP server.

Peder hi
Telkom (SAIX)
But I have to change SMTP settings when I use vodacom, adsl or at wi-fi- spots.

so you have a @telkomsa.net email address?

Just to check.

I know the "free" Mail Clients you can add multiple servers but i see you can't do it in outlook 2010, will look now what other option you have.

Peder hi..

telkom is ISP ..

email addy is domain ...@africanbest.co.za

 

[Peder]

This is just a shot in the dark, i can't test it on my side because i don't have a telkom account.

Goto where you would change the server addresses --> advanced -->outgoing server --> select "My outgoing server requires authentication"

and try it on the Vodacom 3G with the telkomsa.net server

+1 , yours forever. Works off any connection, better spam filtering, more features ....

smtp.uls.co.za

Works on all ISP accounts I've tried thus far

smtp.uls.co.za

Not for long...

 

[Nimz]

Not for long...

and why is that?

 

[ColinR]

and why is that?

Means they're an open relay if they don't need you to have an account that is authorised with them in order to send.

Peder and Nimz ..

I've tried and tested smtp.uls.co.za

works just fine !

Thanx guys

 

[Peder]

Ok Pleasure!

For Future Reference if that doesn't work:

Here is what they call exluding accounts from sending: http://www.msoutlook.info/question/308
And here is a Program called Autoroute SMTP: http://www.tucows.com/preview/224458

I just still can't believe a PAID FOR program can't do something as simple as changing SMTP servers on the fly without Workarounds...

 

[leogreeff]

smtp.uls.co.za
works in both cell phone and outlook
Thanx again guys

Nimz. Thanx Stax.

I've been changing smtp outgoing settings three times a day!

Tried googling a fix but no help.

Your fix works so far on mtn, afrihost, cellc and telkom.

Great!!!

 

[Nimz]

No problem guys
Enjoy

Gmail.

Got to agree... All of my mail goes out via GMail. It works 100% however you're logged on...

Does not work if you are in the unlucky position to have Voxtelescum as your ISP!
Anyone with an alternative that can be used?
The ONLY option seems to switch ISP so that SAIX.NET can be used again - better the devil you know...
VoX suck major league with absolutely ZERO support!
