Charter/Spectrum SMTP server is blocking access from my home IP for the second time in three months.

Can we please get [Edited: "Personal Information"] registered properly?

Hi @user_ffca83 Thank you for reaching out on the Xfinity Community Forums. Are you using a third party mail client to access your email? Have you attempted to access your email with the Xfinity web portal?

As I mentioned originally, my Xfinity IP address is being blocked by the Charter/Spectrum SMTP server.  This has nothing to do with Xfinity email, this is a DNS setting in your system that is not properly configured, and it is a known issue.  I already had this corrected once, the CSR that responded the first time submitted a DNS update request to your technical staff and the problem was fixed in a matter of hours.  I believe that after the service outage last week, I was assigned a new IP address, thus the problem.

I am not familiar enough with this forum system to locate the original thread, but hopefully you will be able to find it and route my issue to the appropriate person(s).

Thanks for your assistance!

We would need to know your current IP.  Once we have that, we can have them update DNS for the IP (and likely the "IP-neighbors").  You can use a website like "whatismyip.com" and provide us with the IPv4 address it provides to you.
