I use an IMAP client (Outlook Express, Thunderbird, or Eudora, for example) at home to send email. How can I prevent messages that I send from being considered spam?
One of the factors that is used to determine whether an email message is junk or not is whether the message is being sent from the same location as the account. Previously, users at home using IMAP or POP connections to Exchange had been instructed to use their Internet Service Provider’s SMTP server (smtp.sunflower.com or smtp.sbcglobal.net, for example.) as the Outgoing server when sending messages from Exchange accounts. If you are using an IMAP or POP client to connect to your Exchange account, you should make sure that you are using AUTHSMTP.KU.EDU for your Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server so that messages coming from you are not considered spam. Follow the instructions above to reconfigure your connection to Exchange. As an added benefit, SSL encryption will keep your password from being visible as it is sent to the Exchange system.
