Email Alerts - SMTP Server

[cballew]

I am trying to enable email alerts on the MQL4 platform. I would prefer to use my Gmail or Hotmail or Yahoo mail servers to do this. I've not had any success.

Has anyone out there successfully setup email alerts using any of these web-based mail services? Would you share that with me?

Thanks,

Cam

Hi

base on my own test, it does not work with those free one as most of them are using sercure email server such as port no 445.

You need to find either those paid or free one that do not required user id or password for outgoing mail server to be authroize in order work use stadnard port no 25 or get a paid provider that suport push email

Note: You can use gmail.com as your email provide but the outgoing mail get some 3rd party with normal smtp port no25 without autherization to save your cost and yet getting fast push emails technology emails.
