[08] HOW DO I CONFIGURE SMTP AUTH WITH AN EMAIL CLIENT ON MY COMPUTER

     First - are you a META, VHOST, VPM or DIALUP member?  If not, you will
     not be able to use our SMTP server.

     SDF and SDF-EU SMTP servers require the use of SMTP AUTH mechanism
     STARTTLS (which clients may refer to as 'TLS') for relaying.  Your
     'secret' is set with 'setdialup' or 'mkvpm'.  Your 'username' will be
     your VPM or tenex.org domain.  Alternatively you can set a RELAY IP if
     you have a static IP address or a dynamic IP address that doesn't
     change very often.

     Also, if you cannot access the SMTP server via port 25 (due to your ISP
     blocking that port), you can use port 23, 53, 587 or 8080.

     ==============SETUP EXAMPLES FOR MACOS AND WINDOWS==============

     To use SMTP AUTH with your VHOST or VPM membership, you
     will use the following information:

     SMTP server:  'mx.sdf.org' or 'sdfeu.org'
     SMTP LOGIN:   Your full domain name, appended with "@sdf.org"
     SMTP PASSWD:  Your secret which you have set with 'mkvpm'

     EXAMPLES for a VPM mailbox of '[email protected]' with a
     password of 'bob' and an SMTP AUTH secret of 'FUBAR':

     Apple OS X w/ Mail.APP:

     Start the Mail.APP program.
     Open preferences (CMD-,)
     Click on + to add a new account.  Fill in the following:

             Account Type:  POP
              Description:  SDF VPM address
            Email Address:  [email protected]
                Full Name:  Bob Freeshell

     Incoming Mail Server:  mx.sdf.org
                User Name:  [email protected]
                 Password:  bob

     Select 'add server' ..
     Outgoing Mail Server:  mx.sdf.org
              Server Port:  25
           Authentication:  STARTTLS 
                User Name:  [email protected]
                 Password:  FUBAR

     Microsoft OutLook and LookOut Express

     $ mkvpm set FUBAR   # where FUBAR is the SMTP password you want

     Open LookOut (or LookOut Distress)
     Click TOOLS-->ACCOUNTS-->ADD-->MAIL

     pop3:  mx.sdf.org
     smtp:  mx.sdf.org

     Account Name:  [email protected]

     Select ACCOUNT-->PROPERTIES-->SERVERS
     Toggle on 'My server requires authentication" under Outgoing

     Settings
     Choose "Log on using"
     Account name:  [email protected]
         Password:  FUBAR
     Do not toggle on "Log on using Secure Password Authentication"
