As of last night, not sure what triggered it, I am *no longer allowed to use Rogers SMTP*

I haven't heard of them cancelling that service, although I don't use it so my knowledge (or lack thereof) isn't meaningful.


What's the error message you're seeing?


Rogers says these settings work:

https://www.rogers.com/support/internet/shaw-email/pop-and-imap-email-server-settings#outgoing-mail-server-with-authentication


Also, Rogers uses Yahoo for email:

resolvectl query --type mx rogers.com
rogers.com IN MX 10 mx-rogers.mail.am0.yahoodns.net

Maybe escalate with Yahoo?

Yet another reason to look at moving to a Canadian host like North Mail recently mentioned here:
