Further Information:
As continuation of our security hardening practices, we will be officially ending the ability to use plaintext authentication for email services. It is recommended to review the following changes to ensure your services will not be impacted.
A detailed breakdown of the changes is as follows:
Incoming e-mail
- Plaintext authentication for POP3 and IMAP will be disabled.
- Connections to the servers on ports 110 and 143 will not be allowed.
Outgoing e-mail
- E-mail clients will be required to connect with SSL or issue the STARTTLS command before being allowed to authenticate.
As a result, please review your mail clients for the following settings, adjusting as required:
Incoming Server: rs6.websitehostserver.net
IMAP Port: 993 or POP3 Port: 995
