Mail Client Configuration in Outlook

For this example, let's set the following pre-conditions:

1. We have to set up a new domain and called "domain.com"

2. Insert user account information for the domain called "postmaster@domain.com".

3. Set up Outlook to check mail for and "postmaster@domain.com" and will also use that user for SMTP authentication, so that I can send mail.

Step 1: Go to E-mail account configuration

Select "E-mail Accounts" under Tools.

Step 2: Add a new E-mail account

When finished, click "Next".

Step 3: It's a POP3 type of account

When finished, click "Next".

Click on "More Settings" once you've filled out the above information.

Step 5: Enable SMTP Authentication (under the "more settings" area):

Save all changes and give it a go! You should be all set.

"Can not send out email" Troubleshooting Tip

When you configure Outlook to use our email server as the outgoing SMTP server, those connection attempts get blocked. You may get an error message like "Could not connect to server".

Mostly, this is due to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) blocking foreign connetions to port 25 (smtp). Some ISP's block attempts to connect to a foreign SMTP server. This is an anti-spam measure. The solution is to use your ISP's SMTP server instead of your own.

Of course, whether or not you configure Outlook to use SMTP authentication at this point is strictly determined by what your ISP's SMTP connection rules are. If you need help, contact your ISP.
