ATTENTION HOSTING CLIENTS: SMTP Authentication MUST be used to send & receive emails.

Why is the industry making this change? This update is being made in response to today's new best practices and is done to prevent spammers from using your email account to send out junk email. This also protects the integrity of your domain name's reputation and that of everyone on the network. If your email address is used to send out spam, there is a good chance your legitimate emails will be blocked by ISP's who have identified your domain as a spammer. This simple update closes another avenue to would be hackers, and protects us all.

In addition to requiring SMTP Authentication, you must also enter your ENTIRE account user name into your email software. It can not be truncated, such as using john instead of john@yourdomain.com. Truncated user names will no longer work.

If you have any problems making this change, please let us know and we will help!
