Why SMTP Authentication?

0
10

Due to the recent rise in SPAM and viruses online, many Internet providers (ISP’s) have been forced to block everybody from sending emails through mail servers other then theirs. This way they can keep an eye on the outgoing mail of their customers. This is why you must contact your Internet provider (ISP) to get their SMTP server address, along with your account username and password. !!IMPORTANT!! How to test your new email account: Once you have configured your new email account, it is important to run a test to be sure you can both send and receive emails and that people can reply to your emails. To do this, email yourself a test from this new account (email from yourname@domain.com to yourname@domain.com). In a couple minutes you should receive your test. Then your next step is to reply to that test, which will send you a 2nd test. If you receive that second test it means you can send, receive and others can reply to your emails and that your account is working. Configure Mozilla
