Enabling SMTP AUTH for Eudora
In this section we enable SMTP AUTH and TLS. SMTP AUTH allows you to prove you are a legitimate subscriber by providing your user name and password when you send email. This prevents outsiders (mostly SPAMmers) from using our servers to send their SPAM messages. TLS encrypts communication between your computer and our mail server. This keeps your password secure and provides some privacy protection for your email messages.
