Off-campus Users: Due to security concerns, mail from non-VSU domains will not be accepted. You must consult with your ISP's documentation and/or tech support in using the SMTP server from your ISP. If email is already configured for your ISP email account, then use that SMTP server for your VSU email account. Here is a page with some local SMTP servers as examples.

Note: While you are connected to the EDGE network, you cannot use smtp.valdosta.edu or this process will fail. Likewise, if you are connected to Hallnet and using AT&T's outgoing mail server, this process will fail.
