Mail server details for users
Some details for those few who use the server for email.
-
POP3 server:
Name: mx.weller-fahy.com Port: 995 Accepts only secure (SSL) connections.
-
SMTP submission server:
Name: mx.weller-fahy.com Port: 587 Accepts only secure (SSL) connections.[1]
[1] Yes, I am aware that using 587 as an SSL-only SMTP port violates the RFC. I will attempt to implement StartTLS at a later date.
Tips for Outlook:
- Do not select 'Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)'.
- Do select 'This server requires an encrypted connection'.
- Do select 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication', and remember the outgoing (SMTP) server uses the same login/password as the incoming (POP3) server.

Some of you may get nasty warnings when sending/receiving email telling you that the certificate authority can't be found/trusted. If you want to get rid of that, then install the [cacert root certificate][caroot]:

If you use Outlook, then make sure to install it in IE. If you use another email client, and you want to get rid of the warning, then contact me and we'll try to figure it out.
That's about it for now, next up - attempting to set up the fora. ;]
