I use smtp client and use smtp host and port as 25. This works fine as long as I am at work.
When I am at home in and outside of vpn, and try this, I get access denied error.
Our IT team says that your ISP might be blocking the port, I checked with the ISP and they asked me to check on my router settings. I checked my router settings in Advanced -> Port Forwarding and could not find any details to see if the port is being blocked.
Need help urgently.
There are a number of web sites you can access that will scan for open ports through your router. I use the DuckDuckGo search engine. See here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=port+scanning&t=newext&atb=v167-1&ia=web
The Port Forwarding section of your configuration is where you would go to open a specific port. Use port forwarding with caution. If you do not know what you are doing, you can easily compromise an entire network.
