- TLS (SSL) mode supported, considered mandatory, however...
- can be disabled if your device/software lacks
proper support
- might require updates, if your client/platform is outdated
- SMTP
requires authentication, of course
- Use same credential as Incoming Mail Server
- This has been standard practice for virtually all
providers since 2003
- Setting up on a mobile device and using
your wireless data plan (as opposed to via Wifi)
- ... means you're subject to further
carrier-/plan-specific restrictions
- e.g. some force the use of carrier's SMTP, with rules, filters & logging
- The exact procedures/strategies of compliance vary (a
consulting topic)
You can use Webmail, in addition to (or in
lieu of) installed email client. To access e-mail
from any supported
web browser, log in at: https://bravotech.us/webmail
SPAM Filtering & Virus Protection
All mailboxes are deployed with Server-side SPAM filter OFF & Virus Protection ON :
- manage AV & SPAM via Webmail portal
above
- you may disable
protection as you wish, or
- customize settings to suit your needs
adjust sensitivity, keywords, and manage whitelist & blacklist
- switch to flagging mode [SPAM?] , rather than confiscate & hold
- retrieve legitimate messages caught by server-side SPAM filtering
- by moving flagged SPAM messages back to Inbox
- if SPAM filter is enabled...
- you'll receive alerts when messages have been
caught
- can be: per-message (immediate), or daily consolidated DEFAULT
