SMTP settings

Great program....

However, when in a location that does not have an available smtp server, I would like to use a 'personal' one associated with my website.

There are many service providers who block port 25 for email passing through their servers to stop spammers. One trick to get around this is to use a designated smtp port like 587 which has been opened at the website email services.

How can I set the smtp server to this specific site and set the alternative port so it works. Tried www.site.com:587 but it is invalid. Tried the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:587 and also invalid.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: SMTP settings

Setting up the port in the SMTP feature is not supported. You will have to enter this port manually in your email client.
The reason for this is that the SMTP feature uses a hosts entry to redirect the "nsm.smtp" dummy to the actual IP. Unfortunatelly it's not possible to enter any ports there.
