Hotmail's smtp port
Hotmail's SMTP port is typically 25. However, it's worth noting that Hotmail (now Outlook.com) has some specific requirements for sending emails using their SMTP server.
Here are the details:
- SMTP Server: smtp.outlook.com
- SMTP Port: 587 (or 25, but 587 is recommended)
- Authentication: Required (use your Outlook.com email address and password)
- Encryption: TLS (Transport Layer Security) is recommended, but not required
When sending emails using Hotmail's SMTP server, make sure to use the correct authentication credentials and follow the recommended settings to avoid any issues with delivery.
Here's an example of how you can configure your email client to use Hotmail's SMTP server:
- SMTP Server: smtp.outlook.com
- SMTP Port: 587
- Authentication: Use your Outlook.com email address and password
- Encryption: TLS (optional, but recommended)
Keep in mind that Hotmail's SMTP server has some limitations and restrictions, such as:
- You can only send emails to recipients who are also on the Outlook.com or Hotmail.com domains.
- You can't send emails to recipients who are on other domains (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, etc.).
- You can't send large attachments or spammy emails.
