Due to recent security issues with Outlook mail and also the incredible amount of spam that is
infiltrating our servers we have made the decision to further lock down the mail server by requiring SMTP authentication. This will
eliminate the possibility of unscrupulous spammers ever being able to illegally use a users name to spam others and will minimize the possibility of them using malware or other spam related tools to access the system. This combined with added filters and scanners will keep you the user and us the provider far more secure.
The instructions are very simple to follow as below. If anyone needs help with this please feel free to call (727) 743-4653 Make sure to leave a message where you can be reached so that we may return your phone call in the event that we are assisting others.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. We look forward to serving all of you in the best way we can.
