AOL is a great company. They have a lot of email, and I love their email service. But there are some things I don’t like about it. One is that they charge you for every email you send. Another thing is that they keep track of your emails and sometimes they send them to people who you don’t want to see them. So how can I stop paying for AOL but keep my emails? There are a few ways to do this. The first way is to set up an AOL account and use it only for email. Then, when you want to send an email, just use the account’s “email” link instead of the “mail” link on the AOL website. The second way is to set up a separate AOL account for email and use that account only for communication with friends and family. Then, when you want to send an email, just use the account’s “email” link instead of the “mail” link on the AOL website. The third way is to set up a separate AOL account for communication with clients and employees at your company and use that account only for communication with those people. Then, when you want to send an email, just use the account’s “email” link instead of the “mail” link on the AOL website
I don’t know AOL, but that sounds like they are using the standard SMTP protocol with port 25 and not their AOL mail server which may be different ports I think AOL uses Port 110 for outgoing messages so either avoid AOL or use SMTP on a port other than 25 to send your AOL mail through a standard email client set up to talk to AOL’s server As long as you can connect of any form between your email client software and AOL’s mail server it will work, if you have an SSL connection there is nothing to worry about because it is all encrypted. AOL will not see your email data so I don’t get why people have a problem with AOL monitoring that as long as you know it is an AOL server through the SSL connection then people need to worry about their AOL webmail accounts and other services where they can log into AOL, not using AOL as an SMTP relay
I’m talking about getting rid of AOL for mail delivery altogether, not just port 25 for faster outgoing mails.
So if you go out from your email client software to something like smtp-service.mail.aol.com:110 then AOL would only see the traffic going over port 110 (if any), but they wouldn’t be able to monitor what was being relayed to recipients via AOL AOL’s mail server and that AOL will not see your SMTP traffic, you can even encrypt if you want to (I use STARTTLS) AOL cannot use port 25 for outgoing messages, it isn’t possible so I don’t know where all of the information is coming from stating AOL can relay outbound emails via Port 25
