To send mail through Valley Internet's email servers when connected to other Internet Service Providers, your email
client must be setup to authenticate your connection so that we know with certainty that you are allowed
to use our email server. In order to allow you to authenticate, and to protect your username and password, we
require you to install a secure certificate from us which allows the connection between you and our mail server
to be encrypted. We will not accept outside connections unless you do this first.
Note: If you wish to receive email at a connection outside Valley Internet, please contact us to remove the
security restriction against outside dialups connecting to the mail server to receive mail.
