| + | If you are sending Olin email using a tool other than Microsoft Outlook or the [[https://outlook.office.com/|Office 365 web interface]], you will need to configure the "outgoing mail server" or "outgoing SMTP server" to use the Olin Office 365 configuration. These enhanced security requirements help to reduce the volume of spam flowing through email systems. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Though the exact fields may be different in your email program, these are the general settings that are required: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Outgoing SMTP server: **smtp.office365.com** | ||
| + | * Outgoing SMTP port: **587** (do not use 25 or 465) | ||
| + | * Use encryption: **TLS** | ||
| + | * SMTP server login: //use your Olin UPN, such as// **jstudent@olin.edu** | ||
| + | * SMTP server password: //use your Olin account password// | ||
| + | |||
| + | //Using smtp.olin.edu or smtps.olin.edu for this configuration is no longer supported, and may stop working at any point.// | ||
