AuthSMTP - Qualcomm Eudora 7.x - Create Relay Personality

Important Points

• These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.
• Take a note of any settings you change.
• Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.
• These instructions are for Qualcomm Eudora 7.x - for other email programs please see How To Setup AuthSMTP or contact us.
• These instructions only change the outgoing email server to use the AuthSMTP service, if you need to use the alternative port (23, 26, 2525) because your ISP blocks port 25 please see QualComm's website for instructions.
