Several people that work for us have dial-up service through MSN. It works OK for the most part. It works incredibly great if you compare it to AOL users.
The thing is, if you are hosting your own POP3 and SMTP servers, chances are MSN will not let you communicate with anyone else's smtp server except there own. THEY NOW REQUIRE SECURE PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION. This is really a good thing in the long run. Up until recently, we told our customers (these people work for us but purchase internet access on their own), to just change their outbound (SMTP) server to "smtp.email.msn.com" ---> then go to the outbound server properties and choose the MSN account name and passwords. THIS HAS ALWAYS WORKED GREAT. Customer got their inbound from our server and sent outbound from MSN. HOWEVER, MSN is now requiring SECURE PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION on their outbound server. I don't blame them for doing this. It totally makes since. Me, well I just get to handle a hundred or so tech support calls this week to walk the users through this change.
