Summary: As a preventative measure to defray spammers, virus and spy ware writers from using our mail servers as relays or sources of mass-distribution for their malware, we require our subscribers to use authenticated SMTP (ASMTP) when trying to send emails via our mail servers if they are not directly connected to our network (i.e. trying to send an email via their CaribServe Email address while on the network of another ISP or from a hotel, office, out of the country, etc. ). ASMTP requires you to enter your email password before sending email. This simple step blocks unauthorized outgoing messages and helps reduce the distribution of spam. (relay denied, 500 errors).
Resolution: CaribServe offers an Authenticated SMTP (ASMTP) service that allows our subscribers to send e-mails via our servers even if they are not logged on the Internet through CaribServe. This is useful especially for people with notebooks that want to send e-mail when traveling abroad. To use the feature change the outgoing mail server to SMTPAUTH.CARIBSERVE.NET and configure the SMTP Authentication to log on using the client’s CaribServe username and password.
