Some mail servers not available from off-campus

Estimated Reading Time: 1 Minutes

Starting 9/1/23, Clemson's general smtp server will no longer be available outside of Clemson's network. If you have an off-campus application, device, or email client that needs to send email, we suggest using Microsoft's SMTP service. 

 

MS has documentation available at:  
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040

Here are the SMTP settings:

  • SMTP server name: smtp-mail.outlook.com
  • SMTP port: 587
  • SMTP encryption method: STARTTLS

NOTE: this may not work in every case. It does not work with gmail.
