sending email through port no 443 or 80 [closed]

Question

i am a college student. My college network blocks all the port other than 80 and 443. Now i am doing my project and i need to send a email. Is there any way i can send email through these ports

Edit

I got a way around this problem. I used google appengine as a relay. Whenever i want to send a mail i will send a post request to the appengine and the servlet in the appengine will send the mail.

Answer 1

No, those are for HTTPS and HTTP. Your college blocks those ports specifically so that you can't send email: otherwise it would be spam!

You'll need to ask your tutor for directions on what to do. Most likely the ports are blocked at the firewall outside of campus, but you can use those ports inside your lab or campus network.

If you really need to send mail to the outside world, check the configuration of your email client - that will have the details of the campus outgoing SMTP server that you need.

Answer 2

Send it via your network's outgoing mail server. That's what it's there for.

(There should be an SMTP server set up somewhere on your college network, listening on port 25 and relaying mail to the outside world).
