getting dvr to send emails

[mattcookeuk]

hi , thanks i was suspecting that they were blocking , just cant seem to either explainit to them right or for them to admit they do ...

I think that BT do block port 25 except to their own servers.

[mattcookeuk]

yeah think , but we set up with monitoring to use 9025 which has worked on another bt one,(but i think residential) but not this one

[gg30340]

One other port to try Port 2525.

[mattcookeuk]

no but just have , computer still says no lol

[gg30340]

Sorry out of ideas. Might be worth trying the business forum.

If the monitoring site accepts SMTP over port 9025 it shouldn't be blocked by the BT network.

Have you tried it authenticated by your email username/pwd & with either SSL, TLS or no security?

hi theres no username or password in the authentication its not required so dont have

How do you know? Has the monitoring site told you that? Usually port 25 does not require authentication & so comes with none, but any non-25 SMTP do require authentication.

i know because ive got another 25 sites set up exactly the same, and they all work fine.
