Outlook connects directly via SMTP (outgoing e-mail) or POP3 (incoming e-mail) protocol to your mail server.
Mail may be composed and read offline.

To close SPAM relays on our servers, in order to send mail through our SMTP server you will need to check your email box prior to sending, and the reply address must be something@yourdomain.com.
This implementation is important since it blocks all spam relay from going through our servers.

Note: Some ISP's won't allow the use of a foreign SMTP (outgoing e-mail) server. This is beyond the control of Spunkyworld. ISP's will often block port 25 so they can control SPAM going through their system. Port 25 is the common port that is used for SMTP service on Internet servers. There are many large dial up ISP's that do this, Concentric or Mindspring would be a good example. You will need to check with your dial up provider for more info. If you are in a situation where they are blocking port 25, for your SMTP setting just use the one your local ISP provided. POP (incoming) e-mail is not affected by this restriction.
