SMTP not working outside of office
Posted: Thu Sep 11, 2008 3:44 pm
So, my works mail server for some reason does not want to work outside of our office. This makes very little sense to me because I don't remember ever putting a restriction on who can use it to send email. The only thing I can think of is one of the subdomains is hosted at the same IP but that still is a shady maybe.
Basically it just hangs when you try to send mail from outside the office IP. After a while I just get a connection timed out error. This is strange because I use IMAP to read my mail and have never had a problem, same server and everything.
So, can anyone help me out? Yes, I could email our host and get that all figured out but this way I might actually learn something.
