I am trying to connect to a smtp server of gmail using
telnet gmail.smtp.com 587
It gets connnected when I try it from home. But, it shows an error when I try it from my office. What can be the problem?
Here is the error I get connecting to smtp.gmail.com:
Could not open connection to the host, on port 587: Connect Failed
Since you are able to connect at home, your office is probably blocking the port using a firewall. To be sure though, you could try on another network.
