ACIII Pro and email

[kb27973]

So let me see if I have this straight. If I do the above test and get back:

Connecting To smtp.comcast.net...Could not open a connection to host on port 25
: Connect failed

Then that means I cannot use my Aquacontroller (Aquanotes v3) to get email notifications?

That would be a real drag....

Thanks,
Ken

If your ISP requires password authentication then you can't send email via your ISP because the AQ unit does not use password authentication. SO the next option is to either send mail through another mail server(third party, your own) that doesn't require password authentication. The above test just confirms whether your ISP blocks port 25 which would affect sending mail via your own mail server or another mail server outside your ISP's network.

I did the test an my ISP doesnt block port 25.

I'm trying to get my AIII PRO to send Alerts to my cell phone.

I'm able to do this through Aquanotes but not my AQIII PRO
