Server: Your ISP's SMTP mail server goes here.Please setup
your email software as described above.
If you have trouble sending email via your ISP's smtp server,
please check that you have the correct smtp server name and
that you have followed their directions for the smtp portion
of the setup.
If you find you are unable to use your ISP's smtp server for
some reason, we do have the following options:
1. Contact us about our WebMail messaging server infoDHS@designsinmotion.net
[Only available for Standard Hosting accounts or Higher]
If you are familiar with Hotmail, YahooMail! or any of the
other popular web-based email services, "DIMS Hosting
Services?"'s mail server offers many of the same features.
You can now send and receive email from your account using
any standard web browser, anytime, anywhere (even while traveling).
2. Use SMTP AUTHENTICATION with "DIMS Hosting Services?"'s
mail server
[Only available for Standard Hosting accounts or Higher]
This setup uses your email address and password to enable
mail relay from our mail server. Make sure you have your software
configured as above and then follow these instructions to
change to smtp authentication. If prompted, use your full
email address and email password to authenticate.
*Please note: You will not be able to use this option if your
ISP is blocking port 25. This is the universal port for sending
email through the internet. Many ISP's are blocking this port
for security reasons which forces you to use their SMTP mail
server.
For Outlook, under TOOLS -> ACCOUNTS. Select your email
account and click on the PROPERTIES button. Under the SERVERS
tab, check the option:
'My server requires authentication'. Click OK and exit the
email accounts settings.
For Netscape 4.05, under EDIT -> PREFERENCES. Select MAIL
& GROUPS -> MAIL SERVER
In the MAIL SERVER USERNAME field type: username%yourdomain.com
For Netscape 4.5, under EDIT -> PREFERENCES. MAIL &
NEWSGROUPS -> MAIL SERVERS
In the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server field type: mail.yourdomain.com
In the Outgoing mail server user name field type: username%yourdomain.com
For Eudora 5, under TOOLS -> OPTIONS. Select GETTING STARTED
from the left menu.
Under the heading 'SMTP Server (Outgoing)' make sure that
you have 'mail.yourdomain.com' and also check the box that
reads: 'Allow authentication'.
Feel free to give it a try. We have successfully tested this
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 Webmail service for sending outgoing mail.
