Telecom / Xtra Outgoing SMTP email issues Posted on 08/05/12 05:20PM
We have had a few clients contact us who have said that they are having trouble sending emails, and they are using Telecom / Xtras SMTP servers to send their domain based email. We believe this is a known problem with telecoms Yahoo service provider. If you are having trouble, please contact them about resolving this
Alternatively you can also use our SMTP servers to send out email, if your hosting plan supports it. Details on setting it up can be found at http://loungenetwork.co.nz/faqman/index.php?op=view&t=90
If you are not one of our clients, but are reading this because you are a Telecom / Xtra customer, and trying to find a solution to this problem, please contact us if you want to move your hosting to our servers.
