Why outgoing mail cannot be sent via WHCIn order to download email, you are always required to enter a password. But to send mail you do not need a password. So if we were to allow you to send mail via our servers, we would also be allowing anyone else on the Internet to send mail that looked like it was sent from you. This poses an obvious security problem. When you dial up to your Internet service provider, you must enter a password to connect. This means your ISP knows that only authorized users (those that have the password for your account) are logged into their network. This in turns means that they can let you send mail via their servers and still maintain a secure system. Spammers use un-secure mail servers to send out junk mail. By restricting access to the mail servers, we are doing our part to prevent spam. Further to this the service providers that provide the connection to the Internet backbone require that the mail servers be prevented from allowing unauthorized emails being sent out. Most hosting companies implement the same policy in regards to outgoing mail.
