Hello Derek,
In basic terms all it means is that the e-mail server wants you to give it
your id and password every time you send mail. This is exactly what happens
when you want to receive mail.
If you follow the instructions given then this will be done automatically
for you.
There have been a few glitches over the past week or so when it does not
immediately recognise your id. I have found that by pressing <esc> when this
happens it all sorts itself out in time.
Regards, John

Subject: [access-uk] email authentication?
Hi all
Does anyone know what email authentication is?
I've just received this from BT Yahoo! Internet.
Reminder: please authenticate your email!
We've introduced email authentication
To help reduce abuse of your email service and spam (junk email), we've
introduced authenticated email sending (known technically as 'authenticated
SMTP' or 'SMTP server authentication'). If you haven't yet made sure your
settings are configured to avoid possible problems sending email, please do
so NOW.
What you need to do
Email authentication means you need to make a small change to your email
program's settings (e.g. in Microsoft Outlook Express) in order to send your
email as usual.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the problem is, I floowed the instructions what to do, but then found I
wasn't able to send mail, so had to change back.
So I am supposed to set up for email authentication, yet that stops me
from sending mail.
Regards,
Derek
