Hi, Sorry about the silly question. I tried reading your documents but don't quite understand. I have a Web Cam for home security. Unfortunately, my ISP does NOT provide SMTP without SSL. I cannot use Gmail SMTP as it requires SSL. If I subscribe to your SMTP service, how do I go about setting up? Is SSL required? Do I need to leave a PC on all day? BTW I'm using your DNS and Domain service to track my IP address and it works very well for the Web Cams. Many thanks. Jonathan |

Note that this is primarily a user to user forum From reading the documentation it looks like Dyn Standard SMTP (previously MailHop Outbound) doesn't require SSL/TLS, though it is recommended. There are setup instructions and general settings - the latter is probably what you're after.
Pretty much, though it's Edit The settings are: SMTP Mail Server:
Try using something that provides more logging, or even just
Sounds like a problem with the DNS Settings of your camera. Is it configured with a functional DNS server IP (ideally more than one) and is it's netmask and default gateway correctly set? Generally the netmask will be
I'd re-check that there isn't a typo in the settings, particularly the server name. Note sure if this helps. This is from the cam log: 03/28/2012 14:02:53 SMTP: Unknown SMTP server [host: http://outbound.mailhop.org]. 03/28/2012 14:01:51 Alert: Detected motion. Here are the settings I'm using with the cam: MailPrimary SMTP Server Enable Primary SMTP SMTP Mail Server: http://outbound.mailhop.org (Outgoing Mail Server) My Mail Server Requires Authentication Account Name: My DNS login Password: My DNS password Dumb question ... how do I use Telnet? Sorry for the n00b question. Many thanks.

Previously I was using http://Mail.Com. The settings were: http://smtp.mail.com Port: 25 My http://mail.com login My http://mail.com password Unfortunately they made it a premium service recently and I would rather pay Dyn. But if I can't get this to work, may have to stay with http://Mail.Com

Just bought SMTP service and configured as per instructions for my CISCO WVC210 web cam. Unfortunately could not send mail via SMTP. Says connection error. Tried all the different ports. Unfortunately the cam does NOT support SSL. What can I do differently? Many thanks. |

Thanks for your response. As mentioned, it was working fine with http://Mail.Com with current settings. The subnet mask, default gateway, DNS have all be setup previously. Is there anything else I can do? Many thanks for your help. |

Thanks. I read the setup instructions and really don't understand. Is it just a matter of subscribing to SMTP, then just setting the SMTP to say http://smtp.dyndns.org with my login name and password? As mentioned, this just for my home cam. Just need email in case of movement in certain predefined zone. Many thanks for your help. |
