It looks like, either we should work directly with Mark and Tom, or we
should send someone to one of these two meetings to make sure that the
Athena email configuration is on track to DoTheRightThing here.

Good Morning,

Two informal discussions about our e-mail infrastructure will be held 
on the following two Tuesdays.

      Tuesday, July 1st
      N42 - Demo Center
      3pm to 5pm
      RSVP by Monday, June 30th at noon

      and

      Tuesday, July 15th
      W92 - South Station
      2pm to 4pm
      RSVP by Friday, July 11th at noon

The primary topic of these meetings will be outbound SMTP 
authentication.  Tom Coppeto and Mark Silis will provide an overview of 
our e-mail infrastructure and this new functionality which is growing 
in importance to our Community.  Jonathan Hunt and other colleagues 
will highlight the upcoming Eudora release which supports this 
functionality.

Outbound SMTP authentication is an important feature with many details 
regarding its use and implementation depending upon the e-mail client 
in use.  This meeting will provide an open forum for information 
exchange, discussion, questions and answers.

General plans are to introduce and explain this functionality within IS 
during July followed by an IT-Partners presentation and discussion 
prior to the upcoming Eudora release which is anticipated for August.  
All of the presentations will highlight the generic requirements of 
outbound SMTP authentication since our e-mail infrastructure supports a 
variety of e-mail clients beyond IS' recommended clients.

Please extend this invite to interested staff within your teams and 
remember to RSVP.

Regards,
Theresa

p.s.  These meetings are in addition to the regularly scheduled 
meetings held prior to a Eudora product release.
