Checking Mail Eudora User Manual

QUALCOMM Incorporated
SMTP server (outgoing)—This is the name of the outgoing mail server for your principal
email account. All outgoing messages sent from your primary account are routed through
this server. If the computer that your primary incoming mail account is selected also runs
an SMTP server, you can leave this field blank. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol.
Allow Authentication—Eudora can log in to an SMTP server when sending mail, just like
it does for receiving mail. Not all SMTP servers require or allow such authentication.
Eudora will attempt authentication to servers that allow it. The preferred SMTP authentica-
tion method is CRAM-MD5. If CRAM-MD5 is not available, LOGIN or PLAIN will automati-
cally be used. See “Using SMTP Authentication” on page 46.
