External mail servers
For security reasons, it is not possible to send e-mails via external mail servers (gmx, web.de, t-online, ...) via standard ports 25 and 465 from the JLU network.
If the mail provider offers this, the mail can be sent via the submission port 587 with authentication. As a rule, the encryption must be activated with STARTTLS.
