i just need my apartment complexes smtp server...i know i could possibly ask them for it but they might not give it to me... anything i can do to find it..thanks

 

Do they have a domain? You can probably find the MX record at www.dnsstuff.com and get the smtp address.

 

your apartment complex runs their own mail server?

 

I'm interested in what you need this for.

 

 

instead of checking my email through my schools web site they said i could use outlook/thunderbird to use it but i dont know what smtp server to use since my schools web site does not recommend one

 

so WHAT does this have anything to do with your "apartment complex'" ???
please be as precise as you can if you're not technical and is asking technical questions.

 

word for word...

In the "Outgoing mail (SMTP) server" field, you will need to put the server name of the internet service provider you are using.

On-campus (Resnet):

tigerout.auburn.edu

Off-campus:

Earthlink - smtpauth.earthlink.net
Bellsouth (Dial-up and DSL) - mail.bellsouth.net
Charter (Cable) - smtp.charter.net

Some apartment complexes in Auburn provide internet access that has already been set up. You will need to talk to the management at the apartment to determine the proper settings for your outgoing mail.


thats why i need the smtp server for outgoing mail...

 

which one(s) of these domains do you have an email account ?

auburn.edu
earthlink.net
bellsouth.net
charter.net

 

If the apartment complex is your ISP then just ask them for it.
