For our domain(mydomain.com) , we have an Office 365 account that takes care of emails and the website is hosted with a hosting company on a shared server. From my shared server Laravel App I was sending emails using the office 365 SMTP server. The hosting company now blocks this connection to office 365 SMTP server:
"Please note that your account is hosted on a shared server where outgoing SMTP connections are restricted. This is to protect the reputation of the server IP address and prevent potential spamming.
You canconsider upgrading to a cloud server plan"
I do not wish to upgrade to a cloud server plan, are there any other options for an SMTP server ? , that my Laravel app could use ? I have a reseller account with many cpanel accounts on the shared server. So i could use another one of my domains smtp server but I need the emails sent out to be from an office 365 email address. So contact#mydomain.com. Possible solutions ?
If you are sending emails, its actually not recommended to use the SMTP server used by your normal email provider (e.g. Office 365, GMail).
Instead you should use a transactional email service, which is designed for sending a large number of emails programically.
See:
Sendgrid
Amazon SES
If you are unable to send emails using a particular port (which seems to be your issue), feel free to send emails user their respective API's:
Sendgird:
https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/api-getting-started/
and https://sendgrid.com/docs/api-reference/
Amazon SES: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/send-email-api.html
This will still use the usual HTTP ports, and use different ip's, therefore bypass any port & ip restrictions when sending emails.

Emails are triggered from our HP Process Automation 7.5. The SMTP server configured in the application as localhost.
We have SMTP Relay configured under Windows Server 2012 R2 under IIS. Mails triggered by the application is able to send mails to outside domains. We are using domain as [mycompanyname.in]. The mails sent to inside our domain is not delivering.
ie, the SMTP relay server is able to send the mails to email ids such as user3465#gmail.com, but it is not able to deliver the message to email ids such as user3465#mycompanyname.in.
Any issue with .com & .in domains in SMTP relay server?
My Server is MS Server 2012 R2 patched uptodate.

A client of mine is selling his business and he will transfer he's hosting with website and email adresses to the new owner.
My client wants to keep his emails on his computer and delete them on the server before the new owner takes over.
However I'm not sure what is the best approach because there will be backups. My client doesn't want the new owner to have any possibility to read my clients old emails from backups.
What is the best approach, is there any differences if the emails are setup for POP3 or IMAP ?
Following are difference between POP3 and IMAP
1] POP3 -if you are keeping this option while configuring your email client,then it will directly download email from server and there will be no email copy on server once it is downloaded.
2] IMAP -if email client is configured with IMAP then it will shows just header of an email and once we click on it, it will download email from server. Copy of email will be there on server after download even.
I have a requirement where I need to configure my CRM Online with an Exchange Server which is hosted out of my organization's Office 365 to sync Emails for Incoming and Outgoing profiles.
Of the steps, I understand that I need to setup and Email Server Profile of type Exchange that has Server Location pointing to the Exchange Server which I have been using currently. However, I get an error saying that the configuration is invalid and I don't get to save the Incoming and Outgoing server locations. Also, do I need authentication for the same? If yes, of whom should it be? The current Incoming and Outgoing is set to the URL. (Without '/EWS/Exchange.asmx' which is used by default for hosting it on O365.
Any help / links to blogs that effectively explain this would really help.
Thanks !
Supported email service configurations for server-side synchronization
CRM Online only supports Server Side Synchronization with:
Exchange Online in the same tenant in Office365 (mail, tasks, etc.)
Gmail or Yahoo! Mail via POP3/SMTP (mail only)
Anything else is not (yet1) supported.
1 Online to On-Premise SSS is supposed to become supported at some point in the future
There are three ways of handling email processing in CRM:
Server-side synchronization
CRM for Outlook
Email Router
Server-side synchronization does not support hybrid deployments (e.g. CRM Online with Exchange On-premise), as Alex mentions.
I suggest looking into the Email Router. You install it on a machine which is then responsible for synchronizing email messages between CRM and Exchange. For an in-depth explanaion, see Email Router Demystified.
If you also need to synchronize Outlook contacts, tasks and appointments have a look at CRM for Outlook.
I want to send emails from my Pc(Localhost) to external servers like gmail,hotmail or yahoomail.
There are option to send email using Gmail/Yahoomail SMTP settings but i do not want to use any SMTP setting because of there daily limits.
And we also do not want to buy any email/newsletter services.
We want to create it Fully Free in our PC(Localhost).
Please tell us how can do it using Xampp and any open-source softwares.
I am working on .net applicaton that need to send emails to clients. I am trying to figure out what would be that best solution to send emails. Here is what i have considered. Could you please suggest what would be the best way to go for?
1>Windows server 2008 in built smtp
service.
2>Exchange server hosted in our
datacenter.
3>Use google apps for sending
emails(Basically same as gmail like
for custom domain).
I have explored all options and below are findings.
1>I think would be way to go. Also
supports drop in directory to send
emails so can achieve disconnected
email activity.
2>Application would be tied up with
availability of exchange server and
we dont have any exchange server
support personal. Only developers
poke around in exchange server and
got it working. So if option 1 is as
good as 2 then would like to go with 1.
Is there any drop in directory feature in exchange server like 1?
3>Tried gmail smtp stuff didnt
work. I was receiving timeout error.
Also there is no guarantee that
gmail will send our mail
reliability. They can decide anytime
to stop sending our mails as we are
using free standard version of
google apps.
Other questions:
I installed smtp service in windows server 2008. Now to use this do i need to change any MX record and anything? What i need to do so it can send email using my domain name. Or it can send email for any domain?
I would use a hybrid of 1 and 2. Use local SMTP, but have it relay to your exchange server. Emails will queue if it can't relay to exchange and you have one server(s) that handle all of your outgoing/incoming mail. This support doc explains this setup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303734
You only need an MX record if you'll be receiving mail from that domain too.
I would also put in a reverse DNS entry for your domain, which will help with spam detection.
