Change your SMTP Server Settings

An SMTP Server is used to send your emails

SMTP Server

Develec has a secure SMTP server which is only available to Develec’s clients. Only use this procedure if you have already setup the POP3 server and are using a non-Develec SMTP server. The email server settings are here.

Quick Settings

SMTP Server name smtp.develec.co.za
Authentication Use the same authentication as your incoming mail
SMTP Port 587 (Required – Port 25 will not work)
SMTP Encryption TLS (use STARTTLS if included in the list) (Required)
hosting

  14. If you don’t see two green ticks in the Test Account Settings window after testing, re-check your email settings
  15. Clear the Automatically test account settings when Next is clicked to avoid repeating the test
  16. Click Next and then Finish

Tip

You can test the outgoing server by sending an email to yourself. If you receive the email, everything probably works correctly.

Spam

The reputation of any server that sends emails is vitally important because it prevents its users’ emails from being relegated to recipients’ spam folders.

No-spam Policy

In order to protect our clients, we have an extremely strict no-spam policy.
Please do not send unsolicited emails (e.g. advertising emails, etc) using our SMTP server.
Any email account found to be sending spam will be permanently deleted, without notice.

Bulk Emails

If you wish to send out advertising, promotional emails and / or newsletters, there are a number of bulk mailing companies that specialise in providing this service without your domain, email account and / or our server being blacklisted. There are a number of laws governing bulk emails that these companies help you to comply with. Mailchimp, Touch Base Pro, and SendBlaster are examples of bulk emailing companies (No endorsement is to be inferred).
