ISP SMTP Host Names
If you connect to campus via a third-party Internet Service Provider (ISP), you must set your outgoing mail host (or SMTP host) to your ISP's e-mail host (e.g. mail.pacbell.net) and your FROM address to your ISP e-mail address (e.g. jsmith@pacbell.net).
Below is a list of the more common ISPs in the Sacramento area. If your ISP is not listed, contact their technical support for assistance. If you obtained your ISP e-mail host name from a source other than our list, please e-mail the information to the Help Desk, helpdesk@csus.edu, so that your ISP can be added to our list.
