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


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

     SDF and SDF-EU SMTP servers require the use of SMPT AUTH mechanisms
     CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5 or NTLM 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. 
     
     SMTP server:  sdfeu.org
     SMTP LOGIN:   loginname.sdfeu.org
     SMTP PASSWD:  Secret set with 'mkvpm'
     
     For best results use MD5-Challenge Response.
     Make sure ssl is turned off.

     If you cannot access the SMTP server via port 25 (due to
     your ISP blocking that port), you can use port 587.
