Configuring email sending using TLS

[VerneArase]

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.

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.
