[08] HOW DO I CONFIGURE SMTP AUTH WITH AN EMAIL CLIENT ON MY COMPUTER
|
|
|
|
First - are you a META, VHOST, VPM or DIALUP member? If not, you will
|
|
not be able to use our SMTP server.
|
|
|
|
SDF and SDF-EU SMTP servers require the use of SMTP AUTH mechanism
|
|
STARTTLS (which clients may refer to as 'TLS') for relaying. Your
|
|
'secret' is set with 'setdialup' or 'mkvpm'. Your 'username' will be
|
|
your VPM or tenex.org domain. Alternatively you can set a RELAY IP if
|
|
you have a static IP address or a dynamic IP address that doesn't
|
|
change very often.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you cannot access the SMTP server via port 25 (due to your ISP
|
|
blocking that port), you can use port 23, 53, 587 or 8080.
|
|
|
|
==============SETUP EXAMPLES FOR MACOS AND WINDOWS==============
|
|
|
|
To use SMTP AUTH with your VHOST or VPM membership, you
|
|
will use the following information:
|
|
|
|
SMTP server: 'mx.sdf.org' or 'sdfeu.org'
|
|
SMTP LOGIN: Your full domain name, appended with "@sdf.org"
|
|
SMTP PASSWD: Your secret which you have set with 'mkvpm'
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES for a VPM mailbox of 'bob@bob.freeshell.org' with a
|
|
password of 'bob' and an SMTP AUTH secret of 'FUBAR':
|
|
|
|
