Verizon SMTP Settings

[[e-mail] [blat]]

Good evening,
I have a client who uses verizon email and am having difficulty sending emails via blat. I think there were changes a while back and am asking if anyone has settings that work with verizon.net emails.


My current settings to install blat are:


blat -install outgoing.verizon.net ***@verizon.net -u ***@verizon.net -pw pa$$word -portSMTP 587



to send a test email:
blat test.txt -to ***@business.com -server outgoing.verizon.net -portSMTP 587



I have tried to use other mail servers that Verizon has partnered with (smtp.aol.com, smtp.verizon.net and outgoing.verizon.yahoo.com) and have had no success.


I am using blat 3.2.19.0 (Dec 7, 2017). I am able to send from other email addresses.



I appreciate your help!
Daniel

Since you can send from other email addresses, it would appear that something is blocking the clients email. Is Blat logging turned on – use –log filename.path option – and let us know what errors are in the log.
Thanks

Some service providers simply do not allow you to send any email unless you are using their network. That is to say, a service providers SMTP server that you can access from your laptop while connected at work may accept not accept mail sent via your cell phone or via the same laptop while at home or travelling.



Investigate gmail or an independent like easymail if you need to send from multiple addresses or locations. Once they are working, they are portable!

Mike,
I agree. And I have set this client up with another email address that works. But he insists on using his verizon email address. So I have to at least exhaust the possibilities of it working!

Daniel,

The main problem I see is the use of port 587, which tells me that Verizon
is requiring SSL or TLS connections. If your client is on a Verizon network
(cable or DSL), then your client should be able to use port 25 and not need
to use SSL or TLS.

If you do need SSL or TLS services, I have always suggested we use STUNNEL
to provide those encrypted connections. This is a free to download and use
program, developed in the open source community, and is kept current with
the encryption standards. This simple, nifty program sits between Blat and
the SMTP server, converting Blat's communication into encrypted data going
back and forth. Stunnel can be downloaded from
https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html.

If you are able to check the message archive, there are a number of stunnel
configuration files to review, and these will give you most of what you need
to connect Blat to Verizon over SSL/TLS.

Hi Chip,


I have been able to successfully use stunnel for gmail setups. I tried editing the stunnel.config file to work with outgoing.verizon.net, but with no success. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm missing something. But here's what I'm using:


from the cmd:

blat test.txt -to ***@re**************n.biz -server 127.0.0.1:1099


I modified the stunnel.config file as directed from this site (http://www.jeffkastner.com/2010/01/blat-stunnel-and-gmail/)



[gmail-smtp]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:25
connect = outgoing.verizon.net:587
verifyChain = yes
CAfile = ca-certs.pem
checkHost = outgoing.verizon.net
OCSPaia = yes


i get the following in my debug.txt log:


2018.11.10 23:17:14 (Sat)------------Start of Session-----------------
Blat v3.2.19 (build : Nov 18 2017 03:15:08)
64-bit Windows, Full, Unicode
Error: Server refused connection.
2018.11.10 23:17:15 (Sat)-------------End of Session------------------


I will experiment with the other myriad possible smtp settings verizon has.



Thanks,
Daniel

Can you send through some other email client like outlook?

Always a good test! Yes, my client uses his Verizon address regularly through Outlook.
