Last two months, TM announced to block the use of any external SMTP server. Subscribers of Streamyx broadband must change their SMTP address to smtp-proxy.tm.net.my. According to TM, this is to fight SPAM (I doubt this has anything to do with it…).
With all email users using TM’s STMP to deliver their email messages, something finally goes wrong!
TM’s SMTP is overloaded at last! The large amount of email going through this outgoing email server finally bring it down and all email users are having problem now especially most of their email does not deliver immediately. This nightmare starts this week. As usual, TM is not giving any notice on this issues.
Use Gmail as alternate SMTP server
