Setting up SMTP Authentication
SMTP Auth under Outlook Express 5.0-6.x
We are moving to a spam reduction mode and to do so,
who travel or use our email services while NOT connected
to the ISONE network, should set up SMTP Authentication

This allows our servers to recognize who you are with a
password. This allows you to RELAY mail through our servers
and the system will not consider you an outside relay/spam source

SMTP Auth under Netscape Messenger
We have added a new feature to allow us to better block SPAMMERS
and relaying of messages. We have added SMTP AUTHentication. This
feature is totally voluntary, and allows the user to roam with a
laptop and use our mail servers for outgoing email from wherever you
are. This is accomplished by validating your username and password
during outgoing mail transmission.
