SMTP server issues
I have been using the Comcast/Xfinity server for several years with no issues. Today I received an error from my Gmail client that my SMTP is misconfigured. I checked the settings and they are per the Xfinity support FAQ i.e.
smtp.comcast.net port 587
Secured connection using TLS
Username: my_xfinity_username
Password: my_xfinity_password
I checked both username/password was correct by logging onto Xfinity.com
Xfinity uses a single username/password for both Web and SMTP access
I pinged smtp.comcast.net and it returned:
smtp-p.gslb4.comcast.com
but I received an error that the host was uncontactable
I suspect the SMTP server is down. Or there is some username/password validation issue
What say you?
