For sending, we use the university's internal mail server
Unfortunately the University has retired off-campus SMTP, so if you are exclusively working on-campus (setting up your mail on a machine in YSTV for example), you can use the internal mail server:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
| Outgoing Server || smtp.york.ac.uk
| Outgoing Server || smtp.york.ac.uk
Line 34: Line 34:
|}
|}


Off-campus there are some options, you can use your University Google account, however bear in mind all your mail will appear to some people to come from your University account not your YSTV one:
{| class="wikitable"
| Outgoing Server || smtp.gmail.com
|-
| Port || 465
|-
| Security || SSL, Authentication
|-
| Username || Your University Username, with @york.ac.uk (e.g. abc123@york.ac.uk)
|-
| Password || Your University Password
|}
Alternately, at present (as of Summer 2013), [[hist:Sam Nicholson | Sam Nicholson]] runs a mail relay on his VPS and will set you up an account if you ask nicely.
