Do you support secure SMTP, POP and IMAP?

Yes. All of our servers (Windows and Linux) support secure SMTP (port 465), secure IMAP (port 993) and secure POP3 (port 995). To not receive a certificate warning, use SERVER.arvixe.com as the hostname (where SERVER is the server you are placed on as outlined in your setup email). | |

The secure POP3 port is 995......... not 993
RESPONSE: Thank you. It's been corrected. It was a typo.

you do not allow secure POP3 at port 993, i assume it should be port 995.
RESPONSE: Yes, it has been corrected. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Our windows servers don't block outgoing ports so you should not have any issues connecting to an outgoing service to retrieve mail. I would check and see what the exact error that you are getting is.

Even when I use the arvixe server name, I get a certificate warning. It appears the cert is self-signed. Is this expected?

You would simply setup an email account username and password. Then, specify that username and password as well as the server hostname (localhost in this case) inside nopcommerce.

Any code that stops working due to server issues should generate an error. Please build some debugging into the code to see the error. If you have issues with fixing an error once you do have an error, please contact support.

Question for using the SERVER.arvixe.com instead of the full server name in our setup instructions.
Are we missing any sort of security by using this method? Can the certificate error be fixed?
Thanks,

Regardless of the certificate error, your communication is secure. But if you want to get rid of the certificate error, you would need to use SERVER.arvixe.com as the hostname.

What are the ports to use for outgoing mail? my account is www.glossyhosting.com So when I set up outlook, for one of my clients, i use mail.actionroofingservices.com as the outgoing server, it requires authentication and i set it to use the same settings as incoming, but what about ports? thanks.

It really depends on what is adding the [SPAM] header. If its our mail server, you can look in the headers of the email to identify what increased the spam score to have it be flagged.

Hi Randall,
The setup will be very similar to the walk through that Arvand posted. If you contact our support we can assist more, or take your device to the apple store with the accompanying login details and I am sure they can configure it for you as well.

So long as you application is coded correctly it should be able to connect to the SMTP server.

Hi, can't get sending email with secured connection to work on my contact page (asp.net)
SMTP configurations:

When I turn off the SSL it works okay, any thoughts on how to get it to work with SSL ?
Thanks

Hello,
SSL is not needed for web forms. The connection to the SMTP server is coming directly from the web server to the SMTP server. There is no one other than one of our Admins who would be able to sniff that traffic and with Administrator access they would be able to read your email regardless. Since the connection is not being broadcast publicly, it can not be sniffed out.

I can't get my IMAP server to work with SSL. I tried book.arvixe.com, but it didn't work. cPanel settings say "*.mysitehosted.com", but what is supposed to replace the '*'? Please advise with specifics.
Michael Carr

Jason,
This depends on the server that you are located on. If you are located on book, then book.arvixe.com should work for you. If you are unable to get that to work I would suggest contacting support.

You should instead use port 25 when not using SSL.

Secure ports were working before, now they don't work I get this error:
"The server you are connected to is using a certificate that cannot be verified.
The target principal name is incorrect.
Do you want to use the server?"

Most likely the server is running a self signed certificate. It is safe to ignore the error and saved the certificate as being trusted. Then you will no longer get that error.

Hello, I'm thinking to move my site to Arvixe, but before I need to be sure of one thing. I want to move from my actual hosting because it blocks the outgoing conections to an external SMTP, I mean, I use Google Apps for Business with my domain so all email passes throw google servers, my site sends email using google server such as register confirmation emails or similar (not spam at all). Will your hosting allow me to connect my google smtp server? Thank you in advance
Michael Carr
06 March 2013 10:10 AM
Yes, you can connect to an external SMTP server using our hosting.

Hello,
I am hosting my domain with Arvixe and using a PHP app that sends registration emails.
I want to configure it using SMTP. I just have a few questions.
For the SMTP Server Address is it : mail.SERVER.com or SERVER.arvixe.com
Does Arvixe user SMTP Authentication?
Thank you!

Yes, SMTP authentication is provided. Usually for a script running locally you will set it to connect to "localhost" but SERVER.arvixe.com will also work.

"Use SERVER.arvixe.com as the hostname (where SERVER is the server you are placed on as outlined in your setup email)" did not work.
My CPanel shows my server would be CARDINAL.ARVIXE.COM. But that did not work.
My email is Google Apps for business. To set up the gmail account on Android 4.3 on Nexus 10, (using Enhanced Email app) the incoming server is IMAP.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
Port is same: 993
Connection Security is same: SSL/TLS
Password is the gmail password, not any arvixe password.
Hope this helps others who went to the Cpanel to see how to configure an IMAP and could not get their gmail accounts to work. It must be obvious to smart folks, but it took me a long time to discover IMAP.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. :)
But, the Arvixe support information and CPanel info on Imap accounts got me to the right area and headed in the right direction.

I've had far more difficulty with this, than I expected. Usually, setting up an email client is not hard at all. Unfortunately, it seems the instructions are poorly documented, and I hope this gets updated ASAP.
I'll assume everyone can easily set up an unsecured connection (most clients can automatically do this). If not, please let me know.
To set up a secure connection (using SSL), you will need to know both which domain your website is working with, and which domain your web server is using. Configure your client as such:
Email Address: [email protected]
Incoming server: webserver.arvixe.com Port: 993 Security: SSL (Normal Password)
User Name: [email protected]
Password: Your configured password
Outgoing server: webserver.arvixe.com Port: 465 Security SSL (Normal Password)
User Name: [email protected]
Password: Your configured password
Hope this helps!
