Outbound Mail Blocking
Some ISPs are blocking SMTP port 25 in an effort to reduce spammers from using their networks to deliver unsolicited email. If you have issues sending email from your home or business that is not directly connected to the PINS network, please try setting an alternate SMTP port. PINS provides service on alternate SMTP port 2025, which is available on our regular and authenticated SMTP servers.
