Please follow the steps below to configure your Mac Mail program to use authenticated SMTP. Using SSL means different Servers and port numbers, but is more secure. Going to mail.yourdomain.com/webmail should redirect you to a URL containing your server name. Precedence servers are generally named cp##.cp.pre.net.au (where ## is a number)
