E-Mail Configuration Information
Mail Server Login Information
Remember that your "username" includes your domain name. For example,
in Outlook XP, your "User Name" would be "user@domain.com" not "user".
POP3/IMAP/SMTP: mail.[yourdomain.tld] or mail.chaocracy.net
WebMail: http://mail.chaocracy.net/
SMTP Server Relay Issues / Authentication
The reason we require authentication for SMTP is so that users can't send spam
through our server. Tell your e-mail client to "logon to SMTP server
using the same settings as my incoming (POP3) server".
In Outlook XP:
Go to "Tools", then "E-Mail Accounts...",
then click "Next", then highlight the account you
want to edit and click on "Change". Next click on "More
Settings..." followed by the "Outgoing Server" tab.
This is where you tell Outlook to login to the SMTP server.
Make sure "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" is
checked and the "use same settings as my incoming server" radio
button is also checked. Click on "OK", "Next" and "Finish" and
you should be able to relay mail through our server again.
The process should be similar for most other e-mail software.
Help Block Spam
If you're interested in helping block spam, check out Cloudmark.
They have a very nice distributed method for blocking spam. Currently there
is only an Outlook plug-in and a server-side component that only runs on Unix-based
e-mail servers.
