Beginning June 1, 2007 Network Operations is requiring authentication by SSL for all off-campus access to the UCSD SMTP server. There are two ways to configure your email so that you can send email from off campus:

1. Use UCSD's SMTP server and configure your email for SSL.
    
   • For MAC OS X: Mac OS X Mail (general email configuration instructions) and Use SSL to Check Email with Mac OS X Mail.
      
   • For Outlook 2003: Configuring Outlook 2003 for Windows general email configuration instructions) and
     Use SSL to Access Outlook 2003.
      
   • Complete list of instructions (for other email programs and versions): http://www-no.ucsd.edu/documentation/index.html.
      
2. Use your ISP's SMTP server. Use the SMTP server provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
    
   1. Ask you ISP what their SMTP server is. A quick list of common ISPs SMTP settings can be found at: http://www-no.ucsd.edu/mail/smtp.html.
