Step One:
AuthSMTP Sign Up
- The SMTP server to use and your
AuthSMTP user name and password will be sent to the email
address you provided when you signed up.
|
Step Two:
Authenticating Additional Email Addresses
- If you only send email using the email
address you signed up with you can skip to Step Three.
- If you want to send mail ‘from’
other email addresses - login to the AuthSMTP Control Panel
at: http://control.authsmtp.com
– at the prompt enter your AuthSMTP user name and
password.
- Click on ‘view / add email
'from' addresses’ – this will show you all the
email addresses you have authorized to send mail using your
account. Then you can ‘Add’ additional email
addresses or ‘Delete’ email addresses as required.
|
Step Three:
Setting Up Your Email Program
- Some ISP’s block the default port
used for SMTP communication (port 25). To get around this
we support alternate port SMTP (on port 2525) and recommend
you follow the alternate port instructions if your email
program supports it – most current email programs
do!
- If your email program is not listed
check with the help file / manual to find how to change
the SMTP (outgoing mail) server settings:
- Take a note of the current settings.
- Do not make any changes to the POP3
server, POP3 user name or password.
- Change the SMTP server to the one
sent when you signed up for AuthSMTP.
- Enter the SMTP user name and
password (most programs have an ‘Advanced’
or ‘Options’ button where you enter the
SMTP server username and password).

Step Four:
Some Important Points
- All new accounts (as an anti-SPAM /
abuse measure) are limited to sending a maximum of 30
messages
(with a total size of up to 15MB) until they have been
verified
