"The internet is becoming more and more abused by spammers, and our
mailservers are increasingly targeted. It is very time-consuming and
destructive to be the target of a concentrated spam attack, mail bomb, or
just 1000's of individual spam msgs we all receive everyday. For you
information, our new spam defenses are rejecting daily between 5% and 10%
of all incoming msgs as knows spam sources or from an unveriable sources.
Futhermore, and to meet the your demands for wider geographical access, we
are extending our dial-in faclities to the entire USA.
To combat the spam menace to you and to us and to provide nation-wide
dial-in coverage, LinkLine will moving to a new mail security approach on
<date> that will require your mail pgm to authenticate itself to our
mailserver with your current username and password before our mailserver
will accept your outgoing mail, just as your mail pgm must now authenticate
itself before it can read your mailboxes on our mail server. This new
approach for us is already rapidly becoming the common, preferred approach
throughout the industry.
This is an easy modification of you to perform yourself. It's simpler than
than creating a new entry in your address book.
Here are the instructions, including annotated screenshots, how to modify
the common mail pgms: URL to tech supp pages"
