hey,

so right now I'm stuck with godaddy for hosting and they don't allow third party smtp services like sendgrid. What sendgrid has told me is that I can use their web api and get around the smtp ports being blocked.

would it be the web api or the smtp api that I would use? and how the heck do I add that to my skadate(xowall)  website?

I've looked at other oxwall hosting recommendations like siteground but from what I read, they also block third party smtp.. or am I wrong?

The reason I want to use third party is because I want my emails to get to Hotmail, outlook, live  and currently Microsoft is being a pain in A$$ and blocking everything completely. not even in the spam folder.

Lukasz,  


you will have to contact skadate support for this as we do not provide support for skadate sites here. 
Thanks :)

Hi Dave.. ok fair enough. Now if this was just an oxwall site, is there a way to do it?

OK we are not going to start this folks.  I was nice enough a few times to help people from skadate and now its starting to get out of control.  So im sorry Lukasz its not personal OK... 


But unless you can show me your Oxwall website installed and up and running and show that it has been there before today, then you will have to contact skadate on this. 


We do not offer support for skadate, this is oxwall not skadate and we have to nip this in the bud, i should have known better that to even open this can of worms.  


I am not upset with you Lukasz i just have to stick to policy now.   


Have a great day... :)
