In an effort to prevent spammers from using our mail server we have decided to institute SMTP authentication. You will not be able to send out any mail until you make the following changes. Please note that this DOES NOT affect people using the web interface to send and receive mail, only people who are using one of the following programs to send and receive mail. Also if your email is already set up to use your ISPs outgoing mail server, it will not be necessary to make these changes. The easiest way to find out if that is the case is to send a test email. If you get an error message or it is stuck in your outbox you probably need to make the changes below. Please post on the tech support board if you have any problems.
