INTRO
Secure, TLS-based password authenticated SMTP is now available on the Grad/Research Net mail server.
You can utilize our smtp server if you send email using CS email address (@cs.jhu.edu).
- ===If You Are Sending Through The CS SMTP Server Using an @jhu.edu Email Address===
- Due to security changes to JHU's own mail servers, if use the CS SMTP server to send mail, but as an @jhu.edu user, you run the risk of your email not being accepted at your destination due to JHU's implementation of SPF records.
- If you want to send email as an @jhu.edu user, please use JHU's SMTP services instead: [http://www.it.johnshopkins.edu/services/email]
CONFIGURING CONNECTION TO OUR SMTP SERVER
Configure the following settings on your mail client:
- Server Name: smtp.cs.jhu.edu
- Port: 25 or 587 (should work with either, but 587 is preferred.)
- Security Settings: TLS password authentication. (You might see this as STARTTTLS.)
- Set your mail client to authenticate (using your CS username/password) when sending mail through our smtp server.
Using the above settings will allow you secure login to the e-mail system from inside CS or from outside on the Internet.
