1 SMTP Sending s While on PureVPN If you are facing difficulties sending s while being connected to PureVPN, this may be because we are blocking outgoing services (SMTP). We block outgoing services to prevent abuse and spam. In order to send s, you need to manually white list the SMTP servers you are using. Write an to PureVPN, asking for SMTP whitelisting. Please make sure to include the SMTP server addresses you are using for example smtp.mailserver.com. A lot of mail services are already whitelisted. In such case you would only require using the mailserver s IP address instead of its hostname. This will ensure that you are utilizing a specific e- mail server (one that has been whitelisted) instead of a random one. Below are the instructions for Gmail and Windows Live: Note: In some cases it is not required to whitelist the SMTP server and changing the port from 25 to 465 (SSL/TLS) or 587 in your client would do the trick. This should also be done when you are still unable to send mails after whitelisting SMTP server. How to Change Your Client Settings in Windows MS Outlook Click Tools and choose Accounts.
