email set up for Hotmail in OD

Post by datlananh » Mon Jun 30, 2008 3:21 pm

Anyone successful in setting up hotmail server for outgoing mail with Open Dental?
Here is my setting:

MTP (outgoing) server: smtp.live.com
SMTP port: 25
SMTP SSL required: yes
SMTP authentication: yes
SMTP user name: your full Windows Live Hotmail email address
SMTP password: your Windows Live Hotmail password

And the error message:
"Mailbox unavalable. Server response was 5.7.3. Requested action aborted. User not authenticated"

Thanks!

Do these exact same settings work from another application on the same computer in the office? Some ISP's block port 25 for SMTP (especially if not using their servers) to reduce spam.
