Email Settings for U of T Teaching Lab Accounts
The only reason I needed email access to the U of T Teaching Lab accounts was to sign up for Free Software provided to Computer Science students at the University of Toronto. Through this, I obtained legitimate copies of Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, among other things.
For POP3 Incoming Emails:
Username: your_UTORid
Password: your_teach_cs_password
Server: pop3.teach.cs.toronto.edu
Port: 995
, Security: TLS/SSL
For SMTP Outgoing Emails:
Use an email server that allows you to set your own custom From:
email address.
However, most SMTP servers disable this feature, so an alternative would be to ssh
into the teach.cs.utoronto.ca
servers, and use the sendmail
command:
ssh parkyo36@teach.cs.utoronto.ca
parkyo36@wolf:~$ sendmail recipient@example.com
To: recipient@example.com
From: UTORid@teach.cs.utoronto.ca
Subject: Testing Send Mail
