SMTP is Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
All registered staff and students must use their designated NUI Galway email account for official communication with the University.
Web-based email provided by third party providers such as Hotmail is accessible while on-campus but please note that such third party email accounts (e.g. Eircom, Hotmail) are not supported by Information Solutions and Services.
For staff at NUI Galway, the server provided for email is Microsoft Exchange. No other SMTP server is available.
NUIG staff/students cannot use an NUIG server to act as an SMTP server to send out email from a third-party email provider (e.g. Eircom). Anonymous SMTP access or SMTP relay is disabled for sending email from the NUI Galway network due to security reasons (primarily anti-virus and anti-SPAM).
If you have any queries about the email service at NUI Galway, please contact the
Service Desk (Tel. x5777 email
