SMTP Servers for Various ISPs and Remote Hosts

- SMTP Servers for Various ISPs and Remote Hosts


Please note: These servers are subject to change, contact your ISP for the most current information.

America Online is a special case. Their technical support staff indicate that AOL does not support the SMTP protocol. However, a little investigative work has revealed that the following AOL servers understand the SMTP protocol.

If you use AOL, you should try inserting one of the above mail exchange server addresses in the SMTP field of your mail client. However, we don't guarantee that it will work. If it doesn't, then it may be true that you cannot send mail using your mail client when you dial into AOL; you may be required to use AOL's own email program to send mail.
