Hello,

I have a dedicated server plan with a third party and it hosts web applications I have created. In addition, I have jobs that run that send emails from this server. I am using another third party for sending emails and use the .NET mail class to send emails. However, the third party email provider requires Port 587 to be set for sending emails. I have set this port in the code but I am unable to connect to the smtp server. I am assuming it is because port 587 is not open on my dedicated server.

Does this sound like the port not open is the reason? If so, how do I open that port on my server?

TIA

Bob
