With the upgrade to our mail server, customers must now authenticate with Outgoing mail server when sending email. What this means is if you are using a third party mail client such as MS Office Outlook, and it is configured with an email account Not from Readytek.net, then SMTP Authentication must be enabled OR you can configure the mail client using the Outgoing mail server of the email accounts domain. Please refer to the examples below.

In the picture below it shows MS Office 2003 Outlook configured with a mail account from the domain "my_domain.com" but using the Outgoing server of Readytek.net. This configuration no longer works but you can now use the Outgoing server of your accounts' domain.

Type in the name of the Outgoing mail server and save the settings by clicking "Next" then "Finish". The name of the outgoing mail server will most generally start with "mail." or "smtp." followed by the domain name (see example). If neither of these names work please contact the the company who is the Host of your domain to get the correct setting for the Outgoing mail server.

If you have a valid Readytek.net email account, you can still send mail using the smtp.readytek.net Outgoing mail server, just click "More Settings"......then select the tab "Outgoing Server" tab. Check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication", click the radio button next to "Log on using" and type in your Readytek.net User Name and Password. Click OK to save these settings.
