SMTP Authentication Email Setup (POP3)

In order to account for dynamic IP addresses and remote users, Reflexion has developed an SMTP Authentication feature to enable users to send directly to the Reflexion server. This document describes the implementation of the SMTP Authentication using SSL.

Microsoft Outlook Instructions for SMTP Authentication

Step 1: Change the Outgoing mail server (SMTP): to the asp server that you are setup on, i.e. asp-0, asp-1, asp-2, etc.

Then click on “More Settings ...”

Step 2: Once you click on “More Settings …”, click on the Outgoing Server tab, and check “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.” Then select “Log on using” and enter in your email address and the Reflexion password that was assigned to you.

Once this is complete, go to the “Advanced Tab.”

Step 3: Within the Advanced tab, under “Outgoing server (SMTP):”, check “This server requires an SSL-secured connection.”

Hit ok and finish and run a test message. If you receive an error that your server does not support SSL connections, please change the Outgoing server (SMTP) to port 2525, and that should solve the problem.

Step 2: Under “Outgoing Server (SMTP),” change the server name to the ASP server you are setup on, i.e. asp-0, asp-1, etc. You can choose to leave Port 25, or if your ISP does not allow Port 25 traffic, Reflexion also supports SMTP Authentication on Port 2525. Enter in your email address and select TLS under “Use secure connection”.

Step 3: Select your primary account and verify that “Outgoing Server (SMTP)” is set to the server that was configured in Step 3.

When prompted for a password, you need to enter in the password that was auto-generated by the Reflexion server. Once complete, send test messages to ensure setup is correct.
