Sending an SMTP email to AOL.com

Recommended Posts

I have been unable to determine requirements that smtp.aol.com is looking for.

 

I am using the follwing:

    Server Address: smtp.aol.com.
    Username: Your AOL Mail screen name (e.g. whatever comes before @aol.com)
    Password: Your AOL Mail password.
    Port Number: 587 (With TLS)
    Alternative Port Number: 465 (With SSL)
    Authentication: Required.

 

However I cannot make a connection to send an email. I think that AOL is using a Yahoo backbone but not to sure.

 

Any ideas on what I am overlooking?

 

Thanks

What is the actual problem you are having?  What does your code actually  look like?  Which SMTP component/library are you using?  You need to be more specific.
