Dear Valued Customers,
Please be informed that affective 3rd Dec 2007, Telekom Malaysia Berhad had blocked OUTBOUND Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) traffic or port 25 for all out going e-mails from dynamic IP addresses. Only Outbound SMTP traffic from smtp.streamyx.com and smtp.tm.net.my will be allowed. With this implementation, Streamyx customers who have their own mail server (Example: mail.yourdomain.com) will not be able to send out e-mails using email program.
Note: Clients who are using Web-based mail (eg. SquirrelMail/Roundcube) or using other Internet Service Provider (eg. Jaring/Maxis/PenangFon) that allows custom SMTP server will not be affected.
If you can’t sent out emails via your local email client (Outlook 200x, Outlook Express, etc) and you are a Streamyx subscriber, that means most likely you were affected by this new implementation. To overcome this problem, kindly refer to our suggested solutions as below:
================================
Solution #1 (Recommended)
================================
To overcome this problem, GetHosted had created a new port for SMTP server, GetHosted clients who were affected, may change the SMTP Server from Port 25 to Port 587.

================================
Solution #2 (Provided by TM)
================================
You may change your SMTP server to the open-relay server provided by TM. Please be assured that by using this option, your email address is still remaining as YOU@YourDomain.com.
Kindly refer to http://webmail.tm.net.my/info/proxy.html on how to configure your email client in order to utilize this relay server. Alternatively, your e-mail administrators can refer to http://webmail.tm.net.my/info/smtp-proxy.html as a guide to configure your company’s email servers
