4 Implementation notes All implementation actions are on the PC files. There are no actions to take on server files. We will now review the necessary actions

5 Implementation notes – 1a 1) To implement this functionality set the following flag in./alephcom.ini [Mail] UseSecureSMTP=Y Note that this flag exists in versions 18 and 19. It 20 it does not exist because it is default.

6 Implementation notes – 1b Version 20 only: New switches in alephcom.ini [Mail] AuthMethod=LOGIN MailServer=MAIL.ORGANIZATION.COM:45 The AuthMethod may be either LOGIN or PLAIN. If you do not use secure SMTP, enter nothing. While it was previously possible to enter a mail server, it was not supported to enter a non-standard port. This can now be done by entering the port number after the name of the mail server, separated by a colon.
