SETTING UP UNION EMAIL FROM HOME

As of Dec. 15th 2006 Unions-America will begin requiring SMTP authentication for sending email using the Unions-America email system. This will apply to anyone using email programs like Outlook Express to send email using our system. This will not apply to users who only use the webmail system to send email.
If you use an email program to send email for a unions-america.com or profirefighter.com address, or to send email for any hosted domain email address through our system, you will need to make the following changes in your email program to use SMTP authentication.
After Dec. 15th 2006, you will not be able to send email using the Unions-America system without using SMTP Authentication. Follow the instructions below to setup SMTP Authentication in your email program as soon as possible. If your email program is not listed below, refer to your programs help files for instructions on setting up SMTP Authentication.
