SETTING UP NETSCAPE MESSENGER

STEP TWO: Configure your Outgoing mail (SMTP) server with the SMTP mail server name provided by your dialup ISP.  Typically this is in the form of 'mail.yourdialupisp.com' or 'smtp.yourdialupisp.com'.  Your dialup ISP will provide this information to you.   Using your dialup ISP's outgoing mail relay does not effect or diminish your e-mail services or custom e-mail addresses in any way.  All domain name related mail services are still handled by Acme.  Optionally, experienced users can configure Acme as their outgoing mail server using SMTP Authentication. (see notes below).

STEP ONE: View identity and reply-to address settings
STEP TWO: View Incoming Mail Servers settings (above)
STEP THREE: View POP3 Login account settings

SMTP Authentication:
If you wish to use Acme's mail server 'imail.acmeinfo.com' as your outgoing SMTP server, you either need a dedicated IP address that we can grant access to, or a newer e-mail client that supports SMTP AUTH.  You would then configure username%yourdomain.com as the outgoing mail server username.  This configuration sends your username and encrypted password to our mail server before allowing you to send outgoing mail.  This provides for the tighter mail server security.

We have successfully tested SMTP AUTH with Netscape 4.05, Netscape 4.5, Outlook Express, Outlook '98 and Outlook 2000.  Sorry, it is not supported in older e-mail programs such as Eudora 3.0 and Netscape 3.0.  If you are not using a supported e-mail client, or if you are having difficulty configuring SMTP Authentication, you still have the less complicated options of using your dial-up ISP's SMTP server or our new web-messaging service for relaying outgoing mail.
