Email configuration woes Posted by Jeffrey Frady 18 Apr 2018 19:44 GMT-0000 posts: 80 I'm at wits end trying to configure my email in Tiki Wiki. I've even contacted my hosting provider and they were unable to resolve. I should have all of the correct settings entered but the test email always fails. Network Solutions says I can use port 25, 2525, and 587 for SMTP.

It was an obscure server address I needed to use that was different from my webserver's domain. See attached screenshot. Network Solutions is weird. server name.png (18.94 Kb)
