You are also allowed to use your own 3rd party SMTP server. This change
will not affect those services.
So far I have recieved no information on any other servers being closed. I was also advised that if you were using these servers, you should have recieved notice via e-mail by now. This is a more public notice.
If there is any questions please post them below, or IM me: David
08/31/09- Additional note
I have gotten some messages about smtpauth.sbcglobal.net and is it not on the list. At this time I have recieved no notice on that particular server and neither has my counterpart that gave me the information. At this time I can only assume that server is
not affected by these being closed down. Most people using these servers was back in early 2000 or later.
