Settings
To send e-mails from your @fsfe.org e-mail alias using FSFE's mail server, you have to enable SMTP Authentication in your e-mail client.
Please use the following settings:
Outgoing mail server: |
mail.fsfe.org |
Port: |
587 |
Security: |
STARTTLS (or simply TLS) |
Authentication method: |
Password (LOGIN) |
User name: |
Your FSFE user name |
Password: |
Your FSFE login password |
Notes
Please note that our server enforces TLS, because otherwise your credentials would be submitted without encryption - which is not good at all.
Please also note that the maximum allowed size for messages is 25MiB (this is the same limit imposed by many ISPs).
