backover the SMTP server to use to send emails from an application.

Steps….

  1. Identify the courier provider — Determine whether the box is hosted by Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Infomaniak, OVHcloud or another provider.
  2. View supplier documentation — Remove the SMTP name, port, encryption type and authentication mode.
  3. Do not confuse MX and SMTP client — The MX server for receiving is not necessarily the SMTP server for submitting.
  4. Test Connectivity — Then test the port with Test-Net-Glogina.

Commands

Test-NetConnection smtp.exemple.fr -Port 587

Key takeaways

  • Port 587 with ▼TLS is commonly used for authenticated submission.
  • Some platforms disable the default standard SMTP authentication.
