Setting Up Your POP3 Email Account

Outlook XP/2003

SMTP Authentication

In an ongoing effort to eliminate 100% of the SPAM originating from our e-mail servers, we are requiring people to authenticate when sending mail. By requiring people to authenticate while sending e-mail, only our customers will be able to use our mail servers.
In order to make this change as painless as possible, screen shots on how to configure Outlook XP, Outlook Express, Eudora Pro and Netscape Messenger are provided below. If you need assistance reconfiguring your e-mail client or use an e-mail client not listed here, please submit a support ticket by clicking Here.

Outlook XP/2003

Tools > E-Mail Accounts > Add a new e-mail account (if this is a new account) or View or change existing e-mail accounts (if you need to modify an existing account)

If you're editing an existing account, highlight the account you'd like to edit, then click Change. If this is a new account, choose the correct type (typically POP3 or IMAP)...

Following is where you enter basic settings. Note that the Login Information > User Name should be in the format of user@domain.com. Do not select "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)"

In order to enable SMTP Authentication, select the "More Settings" button...

Select the "Outgoing Server" tab, then check the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" box. No other settings need to be changed on this page.

Outlook will now authenticate all outgoing mail.
