Authenticated/Secure SMTP Server

We are testing this service, which uses your Windows account for sending e-mail. We also are going to test a Unix Auth/Secure SMTP Server. One or both of the servers may be kept for production service at SLAC.

Prerequisites

• Windows userid must be same as what is before the @-sign in your primary SLAC email address (e.g. windows userid = joeuser and primary email address = joeuser@slac.stanford.edu). We hope to have a fix for this problem eventually.
• Must have Exchange account. However, it is not required that you use it for reading email. Exchange Admins can set the account up so all e-mails are forwarded to another e-mail account.
