MCN Enables Outgoing SSL and Incoming and Outgoing TLS encryption protocols as of Wednesday, March 3rd at 11 AM.
TLS
and SSL incoming and outgoing encryption protocols for e-mail are now
enabled on the MCN mail servers. Customers who wish to take advantage
of these security features can find instructions on how to do so at http://www.mcn.org/extras/smtp/mainpage/papage.html
A reminder: these are opt-in protocols and the vast majority of e-mail
programs require no adjustment unless you want to use them.
Any
customer who has trouble sending and receiving e-mail should change
their mail servers to oldmail.mcn.org in their e-mail program. This
particularly applies to users of Eudora 6.0 and earlier. Instruction
are listed below for them.
