I was in Crete and had been using one of my ISPs to relay my email when I received the following:
"Many of you will know of our zero-tolerance approach to SPAM on our servers. The current upgrade has allowed us to remove a very insecure feature of our mail servers, "POP Before SMTP" - this feature would allow any user to send email providing they have checked their email in the last 30 minutes. Whilst this is very useful and easy to use from a client perspective, it has also allowed several users to take advantage of our mail systems - something which we cannot allow to happen. Going forward, you must enable "SMTP Auth" for your email client." Thankfully, it was the last day of my fortnight holiday so I wasn't too inconvenienced but, now that I'm home, I'm left with the problem of not being able to send email through the accounts I have with that ISP. They have been quite helpful, to the extent of informing me that I must use "Baton Mail". I've seen it mentioned here but I'm scared that it will screw up my main ISP email if I install it and muck around with the Emailer settings! Can someone please tell me whether it's possible to install Baton Mail and change the settings ONLY for the "defective" accounts, before I jump in at the deep end. I use C.E. on a G3 running OS9.2.2 and on a G3 iBook and a G4 tower, both running 10.3.4. Also, has anyone heard from the "EmailerX" group recently? Is the project progressing or has it died?
