| 1277596 | 2012-05-27 01:31:00 | Does anyone know exactly why it was that Xtra is on non standard ports after Yahoo taking over their email? I to this day simply cannot understand why or how this came to be? Something about spam protection? Surely spammers are smarter than that, and you just need decent spam protection anyway? | adslgeek (14687) | ||

| 1277598 | 2012-05-27 01:51:00 | Nah, this is what is on their site - effectively EVERY single customer would call them up - but I just couldn't imagine why. Incoming Mail Server: pop3.xtra.co.nz Uses SSL Port: 995 Username: Your email address without @xtra.co.nz (e.g. joe.bloggs@xtra.co.nz becomes joe.bloggs) Outgoing mail server: send.xtra.co.nz Uses SSL Port: 465 Outgoing server requires authentication |
