smtp.bu.edu should now be the recommended SMTP setting
Beginning with a change that went through on Tuesday, our TechWeb instructions provide people using BU Google Apps (or Exchange with IMAP) with smtp.bu.edu as BU’s SMTP setting, instead of acs-smtp.bu.edu. The acs-smtp.bu.edu setting still works – people do not need to change their existing settings. However, for those setting up new accounts or new mail clients, smtp.bu.edu should be the recommended setting. As was the case for acs-smtp.bu.edu, smtp.bu.edu should be used with SSL (port 465) which requires use of the BU login name and Kerberos password.
