Email Hosting
Basic ITM Email host settings
ITM email hosting pop3 and smtp mailservers are both: postman.asit.co.za
Security
It is your responsibility to ensure the secrecy of your password. Password rules are 4 letters (lowercase) and 4 numbers randomly generated by the server.
The SMTP server requires authentication using the same settings as your incoming mail. You will not be able to send mail unless you have set this up.
If you get a "…We do not relay...," message then you know you haven't.
In addition, sending your email via another mail server may result in your mail being blocked, especially if you are sending to another ITM user. This is because spammers create phony addresses that look like they come from legitimate senders.

Spam
You use the ITM webmail to manage your spam. Spam is even more a security and privacy issue besides a huge nuisance and it must be managed.
It is estimated that spam makes up about 90% of all email worldwide.
The ITM mail server uses a variety of defences against Spam to protect you, but sometimes these server rules block legitimate mail. ITM Webmail gives you the tools to manage what you want to receive.
In addition to spam filters we also use a challenge response to check that the email was sent by a real person and not a machine. Legitimate senders may use this system to authorise email to you.
Logon to ITM Webmail
Select your Spam folder: Select legitimate email senders and preview email. Click the green tick to whitelist legitimate senders. Delete the junk mail.
ITM uses a challenge response for new email senders when the server spam rules are triggered.
Manage your Challenge Response queue: Under the Settings menu at the top of the webmail, select Challenge Response. You can preview the email by clicking the subject of the email.
Click the checkbox for each legitimate sender, click Authorise pending - OK. Delete the junk mail.
ITM users are also expected to refrain from sending spam.
Viruses
ITM runs an integrated antivirus program on the mail server.
However, it is possible for viruses to slip through this system. This, and because users are vulerable to viruses simply by browsing the internet, makes it absolutely necessary for each user to run their own anti-virus program on their own computers.
