Re: (Problem) Sending Mail said by rjfortyfive:So you are saying that you can not authenticate other multiple non sbc accounts with only one sbc account? You can not enter the same email address and password to SMTP authenticate multiple non sbc account anymore? in case I was not clear. If that is the case what kind of BS is this? Yes, I am saying because of the changes they made, you can not authenticate with a different account name than you're using to send with.
I don't know what kind of BS it is, or that's it's necessarily BS. What we have here, is a failure to communicate, and it's not the first time that's happened. If they're going to make a change like this, which is going to be very subtle, against the way some software like Tunderbird is designed, etc, then they have to think about the consequences, and implement it with some warning.
The idea itself isn't necessarily BS, and probably comes from a desire to significantly reduce the amount of spam generated from their servers.
MagMan is a casualty of this. Were I there, or nwrickert, we could solve his problem in under 2 minutes.
Instead, we have a situation where a user is frustrated, and no amount of explaining the situation has, to date, given him the right solution. I'm going to try to find the time to go through the steps later on today and put them into a FAQ type format.
If that doesn't solve the problem, maybe someone would be willing to use VNC to fix his problem, but that opens a whole other can of worms. |
