With the cause of your problem diagnosed, we may recommend the following services:
  • SMTP-AUTH install and test
    Allows your roaming e-mail users to authenticate before relaying with SMTP. SMTP-AUTH requires that your e-mail client’s software support it and that a configuration change be made in each e-mail client.
    1/2 hour, estimated
  • Clean SPAM messages from your queue
    Once we install SMTP-AUTH no new spam messages will get into your server. However, messages already in your qmail queue can be delivered by your server for up to a week. We can clean all of these out for you so that you are totally free of your SPAM.
    1/2 hour, estimated
  • SMTP relaying through our server
    If your server has been blacklisted, then legitimate e-mail from your server may be rejected by other servers. While you are getting off the blacklist, we can allow your server to send e-mail through our server – instantly solving your blacklist hassles.
