Email Alerts

New comment
 

Hi,


I am using Interbank FX's MT4 terminal.

I cannot get the email alerts to send - "Unable to connect to smtp server, etc..."

I've tried gmail (which apparently requires authentication) and cox (which apparently doesn't), and verizon (for my mobile.)

I've tried various port settings, and no port setting.

I've tried different computers.


IBFX says in rare cases this happens and they have no idea why...

Has anybody out there overcome this issue?

Has anybody out there tried the service at smtp.com?


Frustrated...


Thanks

 
I use IBFX and yahoo. It's OK!!

My EA send my account balance, not signals.


But I think that your problem is with GMAIL.

hi trying free yahoo (smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com and smtp.yahoo.com) no go



this should have nothing to do with any or none email clients on my computer, as we are using MT4's mail client?

or am i missing the boat on this one?


thanks

Doesn't Cox have SMTP service? If you're a customer, they should provide that to you. Don't know if you need a business or personal account but it should be available through your ISP. Call Cox and ask them what port number you need. Don't forget, you need to enter the port number after the SMTP address - it took me a while to figure it out as well but I finally got it going (not through Cox but through my hosting company).

Good luck.
