Setting Up SMTP Authentication

SMTP Authentication is used when you're trying to send mail out through Panix's mail servers while connected to a non-Panix network. Click here for a full explanation of when & why this is necessary.

  1. From the Entourage "Tools" menu, choose "Accounts".
  2. Click the index-tab labeled "Mail".
  3. Click to highlight your Panix email account, and click "Edit".
  4. In the "Sending mail" section, make sure your "SMTP server" is:
    mail.panix.com
  5. Click where it says "Click here for advanced sending options".
    Check "SMTP server requires authentication".
    If your "Account ID" under "Receiving mail" is your Panix mail account, you can leave "Use same settings as incoming mail server" checked. Otherwise, click "Log on using" and enter your Panix mail account ID and password.
  6. Close the "Advanced options" windowpane, and click "OK".
  7. Close the "Accounts" window.

Setting Up SSL

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a protocol for secure transmission across the Internet. Many mail clients support email transfers (both retrieval and sending) over an SSL connection.

  1. Open Entourage. Go to the Tools -> Accounts menu.
  2. Highlight the account you wish to change, then click the "Edit" button. Click "Account Settings" button at the top if not already on it. At this point, there are two steps, one for POP and one for SMTP.
  3. For POP: Click the "Click here for advanced receiving options" button in the "Receiving mail" section. Check the box next to "This POP service requires a secure connection (SSL)" in the popup window and hit return to close the window.
  4. For SMTP: Click the "Click here for advanced sending options" button in the "Sending mail" section. Check the box next to "SMTP service requires a secure connection (SSL)" in the popup window and hit return to close the window.
  5. Click "OK" the save the changes in Account Settings. Close the "Accounts" window.

Viewing Full Headers of a Message

Sometimes Panix staff will need to see the full "headers" of a message in order to diagnose a problem. (This is also how one can determine the actual origin of a given message.)

  1. Open Entourage and locate the relevant message.
  2. Open the message in its own viewing window.
  3. In the "View" menu go to "Internet Headers" and select it
  4. In the top section of your message window are the full headers of the message. If you hit the "Forward" button while viewing the message with full headers, these headers will automatically be included in your forwarded message.
