First Reported: 12:26:45 on 2012-05-17
In an effort to further combat our systems being used to send SPAM email, we are making some updates to our web servers on Thursday 24th May, 2012

Some customers may have uploaded or created features that allow email to be sent directly from their WebSites with Daily (for example, some web based newsletter software or email features on certain scripts).

Currently, customers can configure these scripts/programs on their websites to relay email via the Daily mail servers or External Mail Servers with another company.

On Thursday 24th May, 2012, we will be changing our systems so this is only permissible to send email via web based scripts using our mail servers. We will be blocking email being relayed from websites using External mail servers.

If you currently relay email on your website with Daily via scripts that specifically use a third party mail server, you must change your scripts to instead use our Daily servers.

For further details (including a detailed Frequently Asked Question section), please see our related Knowledge Base guide at: www.daily.co.uk/support?id=951
