Changing your SMTP mail server

Why do I need to do this ?

In order to provide better security within our mail system, Yes Computers are altering some aspects of the way outgoing mail is handled by our servers. Unfortunately this may result in some disruption to service which we are endeavouring to minimise.

If you are experiencing problems sending e-mails, please take the following steps to change your outgoing mail server (SMTP), to our new, more secure server: smtp.yescomputers.co.uk
