IMPORTANT -- NEW WONDERWAVE MAIL SETTINGS
Dear users,
We have had great success reducing spam and viruses with our new spam firewall. Since we installed it three months ago it has blocked over a million emails and 2,000 viruses. And we have not received one report of a legitimate email being blocked.
It is still possible to receive an email from an infected computer on our network. Most spam is actually sent this way. To prevent this we will make two changes. Starting next week we will route all outgoing mail through our mail server. And we will require that all outgoing mail be authenticated.
You must make the following changes to send mail. If you are using the webmail you do not have to do anything.
In Outlook Express:
Pull down the Tools menu to Accounts.
Click on the Mail tab.
Click on the Wonderwave mail account and click Properties.
Click on the Server tab.
Click the box by My server requires authentication, click Settings.
Make sure that Use same settings as my incoming mail server is selected, click
OK.
Click the Advanced tab.
In the box for Outgoing mail (SMTP) put 587.
Repeat the procedure for any other Wonderwave mail accounts that you have.
In Thunderbird
Pull down the Tools menu to Account Settings.
Outgoing server should be mail.wonderwave.net
Change port to 587.
Check the box by Use name and password.
In Apple OSX Mail
Go under the Mail menu to Preferences
Click on Accounts,
Click on your mail account
Make sure your Incoming Mail Server is mail.wonderwave.net
Type your Username (enter in just your username)
Type your password
Outgoing Mail Server should be mail.wonderwave.net:your_username
Click on Server Settings
Make Outgoing Mail Server mail.wonderwave.net
Change Server Port to 587
Set Authentication to Password
Type your Username (enter in just your username)
Type your password again
For other mail clients just make sure that authentication is on, set to same settings as incoming server, and use port 587 for outgoing mail. Of course you can call us if you need help.
Thanks for your help fighting spam.
