Re: smtp.gmail server CHANGES From & Reply headers!
Hi remmian,
Please reference the post below. We have opted to leave up our SMTP servers and allow clients to use the legacy smtp.dslextreme.com servers. Though for most clients that use their standard @dslextreme.com email address we recommend using smtp.gmail.com, if there are special instances like yours, you are welcome to continue using smtp.dslextreme.com. That should resolve your issue.

@dslextreme.com | Okay, now I feel like a jerk.
I apologize for my rant, and thank you for accommodating us. I had already downloaded a mail server and was about to figure out how to use it. |

... I hope that caveat ("the user will have to be in one of our local networks") doesn't mean using Webmail. I have no idea what statement is supposed to mean.
Meanwhile I'm going to reconfig my client with the old server and see if it works... |

| This means that because now they do not support old authentication on the old mail server anymore you must connect to it only from IPS network (read - from you home only). You can't connect mail server from other places anymore. You'll discover it in a hard way when you try to send a mail from your laptop, when you outside of your home. I'll be unpleasant discovery at the time when you urgently need it (and you thought that you can rely on you mail server), but suddenly you can't do anything...

2 edits | Hi OZO,
I apologize, I must have overlooked that the authentication piece was your issue and that I had that included in my original post. I was speaking with our operations team this week with regards to leaving the mail authentication database active at least for grandfathered clients. It is still running normally and accounts are still being created there. I don't anticipate taking it down in and of the least for grandfathered clients that were on the platform prior to the migration to the new servers or someone that specifically requests it. As I said though, the SMTP servers (including SMTP authentication) are still running as they were before. Nothing has changed.
Thanks
