Re: [nznog] Change to Telecom's email service

You need to register the "from:" address in the yahoo xtra webmail interface (you may register up to 10 I think) and then authenticate to the smtp server using your @xtra address and password. We don't advertise the fact we offer an smtp server for customers to use - I try to get them to use their email provider's address. So vodafone will need to prepare for a bunch of @paradise and @clear users who are on telecom as Telstra clear historically did not provide an external smtp service (or so their support desk would tell me) but the vodafone buyout may have changed this policy. And those who use a domain where their web developer does not know the email settings of their wholesale hosting provider and has historically just been using the ISP email server will also have problems.

Here is the relevant parts of the email. NB: The customer uses their xtra mailbox and POPs from it. But they have their From: set to the address below.

OPTION 1: Keep using admin(a)customers-domain.co.nz.

Doesn't send.xtra.co.nz require authentication while smtp.xtra.co.nz doesn't (but the connection must come from an Xtra subscriber)? Or something like that. If you get your free Xtra email addy and use that to auth to send.xtra.co.nz I wouldn't have thought it would matter what the From email address is.
