SMTP Settings for Virtual Server

When configuring your SMTP settings for your virtual server you will need to use the following server.

  • smtp.vps.myhosting.com

The server is configured to use port 25.


Sending Mail from Virtual Server

The "smtp.vps.myhosting.com" server is required for sending all email from a virtual server. This server has limitations in place that will prevent the server from being used to send excessive amounts of mail. These limitations have been setup so that the server cannot be used to send spam. The smtp.vps.myhosting.com server does not require you to provide authentication to be able to send mail.


Can I setup a SMTP server?

You can setup an SMTP server but all outbound traffic must go through the smtp.vps.myhosting.com server. It is not possible to use your own domain's SMTP (ex: smtp.mydomain.com). The smtp.vps.myhosting.com domain does not require authentication and can only be used by virtual server customers.
