    GMX Alternative

    Seems GMX email have a freeze on new accounts.

    What other port 25 smtp services are people using?

    Cheers,

    You can try gmail or check to see if the customer uses Google Apps.

    As the original post, I am looking for smtp services that use port 25 specifically.

    GMX has been working pretty well for small businesses , but have a freeze on new accounts atm.

    You can always set up Stunnel on a workstation that won't go to sleep, or on a customer's server that can relay the scan job over port 25 to their actual mail server.

    I don't know about over in Scotland, but over here, there are several ISP's that block all connections on port 25.

    I am, however, curious why you're only interested in port 25 solutions?

    Side note:
    GMX? I don't know about now, but I broke all ties with that service several years ago, when I was using it as a workaround for some of my clients, and their server went down for at least 6 months straight!! What a nightmare that created!

    Might be using an older MFP that does not support SMTP over SSL. It would have been nice if he had identified what MFP was being used.

    I do not know about current but a coupe of years our web services were hosted by GoDaddy. Their email server also supported SMTP on port 80.

    That's sort of what I was getting at. If it doesn't support SSL, there's a bunch of other options on other ports.
    The Smtp2go service runs on ports 587, 2525 or 8025, and I've never had a problem with it.
    Most Web hosting services that I've come across also offer an non-SSL solution over a number of ports other than 25. I set one up just recently on GO Daddy using port 80 (as you said), and Host Papa's another one that comes to mind using port 587.

    The nice thing about port 80 is that it cannot be blocked without blocking browser access to the internet.
