Why EasyMail ?
Maybe you used smtp.pt.lu as your SMTP submission relay, or you have a need to send out mass mailing, newsletters, invoices or any other email traffic to many customers.
Why smtp.pt.lu could not anymore be used ?
smtp.pt.lu is a submission service strictly reserved to POST residential email services (@pt.lu) . When using your own domain name (i.e. @example.com) you should not use smtp.pt.lu as an SMTP submission relay (sending messages into the internet).
Historically, this has been tolerated during the last years.
To provide a better protection to our customers, we are forced to restrict access to smtp.pt.lu and enforce authentication and encryption.
As from 31 December 2023, access to smtp.pt.lu will be restricted to POST residential customers with @pt.lu email addresses !
Furthermore, usage of smtp.pt.lu as SMTP submission relay should be compliant to our new email security policy.
Please consult our support page to get all necessary information on how to configure your email clients or email systems (printer/scanner) correctly.
