Configuring email sending using TLS
Is there a way to configure an RBR850 to send email using TLS and port 587?
My ISP (Xfinity aka Comcast) won't accept unencrypted email and blocks port 25.
-- Thanks, Verne

This is not done on the Orbi. It depends what ports your mail server supports and then you configure your email program.

I configured my Orbi to send email via my personal domain's SMTP mail server and port 465. I believe my mail server is TLS and uses SSL.
These Orbi mail settings work for me. Go to the orbilogin.com web admin site via Advanced... Security... Email:
- Turm e-mail notification on = CHECKED
- Primary e-mail address = <my address>@DOMAIN.com
- Outgoing mail server = mail.DOMAIN.com
- Outgoing mail server port number = 465
- My mail server requires authentication = CHECKED
- Username = <my mail server username>@DOMAIN.com
- Password = <my mail server password>
To check if your mail server settings are correct, go to Advanced... Administration... Logs and look for an error message regarding the mail server connection.
