For your protection if you're going to be using C2G Media Group for sending e-mail through Outlook, etc. follow the steps below to setup SMTP Authentication. This enables our outgoing email server to confirm that it's you who is trying to send out mail and does not allow SPAMMERS's, etc. to send out mass emailing's in your name. |
