Streamyx email client setup: TM’s configuration out of date?
September 19th, 2009 | by Sean |While testing a Java-based mail server I’ve been working on, I noticed I could no longer send email from my Streamyx email account. I never use it, except for testing, or to delete the spam that builds up from TM Net, so it has been a while.
TM’s ‘Setting Up SMTP Proxy for Email Client‘ page seems to be out of date. They use a dummy email address in all but one of the pictures on the page, where you can see a ‘jennyATstreamyx.com’. I have to login to webmail.tm.net.my using ‘username@streamyx.com’, but it wouldn’t work with my email client. I couldn’t send out an email from Thunderbird using my Streamyx username ‘@streamyx.com’. To successfully use smtp-proxy.tm.net.my, I have to send mail from ‘username@tm.net.my’. Here’s a telnet session using the same username, but different domains, in the MAIL command at smtp-proxy.tm.net.my:
Streamyx SMTP Proxy needs 'tm.net.my' email address
I hope that’s useful for someone!
