Comcast Residential E-Mail Changes

Last week many of our customers were having troubles sending out email when taking their laptops home.  This issue is a result of Comcast making recent security changes that you can read more about here:

Why is Port 25 for email submission not supported?

In most cases, the way around this is to access your mail client settings and change the outgoing port from 25 to either 587 (which is an industry-standard) or 465 (which is a Comcast-specific standard).

As always, if you need assistance in re-configuring your email program(s) to compensate for this change, please give us a call at 615.371.9931 or drop us a line here.
