smtp settings outlook comcastbiz.net
can someone help me with the smtp settings? i just activated an account xxxxx@xxxxx.comcastbiz.net i found in the dns settings of my email that the smtp is:mail access type dns namesmtpsmtp.w14a.comcast.neti've entered into my outlook outgoing smtp.w14a.comcast.netthen used my user account and password under the outgoing section in outlook. i've tried ports 465, 587 & even tried 25! what am i doing wrong? i keep getting an error the operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending smtp server.
welcome rm.  the smtp server listed in the post is the correct one.  the is a short time lag between account creation and full activation on the server. please retry the outlook set up again and let us know if it successful. 
 
thank you
In the server configuration document, in the Router/SMTP section, tab Restrictions and controls|SMTP Outbound controls, there is a parameter ‘Allow messages only from the following Notes addresses to be sent to the Internet:’. List the allowed names there, to prevent the others from sending mail to the Internet. This is because Exchange Server 2010 does not issue UDP notifications to Outlook. So, Outlook could not register to receive UDP notifications from Exchange Server 2010. This is why u face the problem. To overcome this, please try out this….


1. Install Update Rollup 1 for Exchange Server 2010, ([for download here](http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=371add31-d7a0-4c8b-8325-a6fced2d05e6&displaylang=en).) After doing this….
2. Open REGEDIT and locate for the registry key (u can press ctrl+F to search)


HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeRPC\ParametersSystem


NOTE: The “ParametersSystem” registry subkey is needed to create


Now add the following registry data to the server:  

a) Value type: REG\_DWORD  

b) Value name: Maximum Polling Frequency  

c) Value data: any integer between 5000 and 100000  

Now quit regedit and restart the computer.


Remember, generally the default polling interval for Outlook is about 60 seconds.  

This is based on Outlook 2003, if you use Outlook 2007, the procedure is almost same, only care about the registry key.  

Important: Before doing anything in REGEDIT, it is safe to take necessary back up of registry (File > Export) and your important data.

 as a precautionary measure to stop spam, many isps are no longer allowing outbound traffic on port 25. as a result, your isp may have blocked port 25 on your account. port 25 is the standard tcp port used to send e mail via the smtp protocol. hopefully most smtp servers offer their services through several ports. so, if maxbulk mailer can't connect to your server through default port 25 try to use port 587 or 2525. if the 'login' authentication scheme gives problems try 'plain' from the second pull down menu next to 'authentication'.
 
 
 example: An SMTP connector, in this case, won’t help you since all those connectors do is route SMTP mail. If your ISP is using Exchange, ask them to use EXMERGE to pull out all of the emails for your people, and then use EXMERGE to put those PST files into the correct user’s Exchange mailbox. If your ISP is using some other mail server, then I’m going to assume you are connecting them via POP3 or IMAP. You can easily take the PST used for these types of accounts and use EXMERGE to put the data in those PST files into their Exchange mailbox for them. However, you will want to make sure your ISP is forwarding new mail to your new Exchange server, and have your users synch up their email before you EXMERGE their PST into Exchange to ensure all of their email is download and present in the PST. Then Enter the following for mms  

**MMS Settings**

Step 1. Main Menu  
 

 · Click on the button with the four dots  
 · Settings (on right hand side)
 · Phone Settings  
 · Connectivity  
 · Access points  
 · Options and create a new profile with the following details...
- Connection title: **Telstra MMS**
- Bearer: **GPRS**  
- Authentication: No Auth  
- APN: **telstra.mms.mnc001.mcc505.gprs**
** Please note you do not need to enter any user name or passwords. Leave them blank.
Step 2. 
 Save the settings and return back to the main menu to select Messaging  
· Messaging settings  
· MMS   
· Multimedia msg. centre   
· Options and select Add new

- Connection Title: **Telstra MM**S  
- MMSC URL: [**http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002**](http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002/)  
- MMS Proxy: **010.001.001.180**
- Connection: **TCP with Proxy**
- Access point: **Open list and select Telstra MMS.**
**Return to the Multimedia msg. Centre menu and activate Telstra MMS on that screen.** sorry i took so long to respond on this post. i’ve had a busy week! so i found the issue. in my template for endpoints i realized i accidentally set them to provision using the external ip address of my pbx. changed it to internal and this fixed my issues :stuck\_out\_tongue: you can try a factory reset. push and hold the reset button for 15 seconds and then release. the button should be located on the back of your gateway/modem/router, and you will need a ballpoint pen or toothpick. you should then be able to access your gateway using the standard means with the passwords listed on the label on the gateway.  \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_how can you be in two places at once, when your not anywhere at all?i really want to become a procrastinator, but i keep putting it off.there are three kinds of people, those that can count, and those that can't.'our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature has made them.' :bertrand russell try checking if your mail server can actually be reached from your discourse server. easiest way to do that would be to run ./discourse-doctor

nb: what happens if you remove the smtp authentication string from the configuration and rebuild? are you still forwarding dns requests to the old isp's dns servers?  that could slow things down...

 switch to google (8.8.8.8) or opendns (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) and see if that helps any, or find the dns servers for your new isp. see above to learn how to setup and configure ip passthrough mode for your router. if you need further assistance with your ip passthrough setup and configuration contact connectech support. jared, at&t community specialist
