Generic email client configuration

E-mail collection

Outbound E-mail relaying

Due to the multitude of spammers that would like to use our mail servers for relaying their mail, we will only permit mail relaying for authenticated users (i.e. users with a valid login and password). If your email client does not support SMTP authentication, you will have to use the SMTP mail relay provided by your Dial-up or ADSL Service Provider. This does not mean that you have to use the email address given to you by that provider. You should still be able to use your email domain, while using your Access Provider's SMTP relay.

These are the settings for e-mail clients that do support SMTP Authentication :-
