Outgoing Mail Submission Port
This page gives you information on how to send email through submission port, and precautions.
What is outgoing mail submission port (587)?
As one method to combat the sending of unsolicited email, some Internet providers are using Outbound Port 25 Blocking to prevent users of other Internet providers from being able to send email through port 25.
Asahi Net members using another Internet provider for their Internet connection, and finding that the Internet provider is employing Outbound Port 25 Blocking, will not be able to send their Asahi Net email.
In this case, using the Outgoing Mail Submission Port (587) will allow Asahi Net email to be sent.
It will be necessary to change some of your settings.
