Due to the latest number of phishing attacks from compromised accounts, we have blocked access to the internal SMTP server (smtp.fau.edu) from remote systems that connect via VPN until further notice. VPN users should continue to use Outlook Web Access, Outlook or MyFAU from remote systems. For those using non-Outlook email clients but still connect to Exchange, please refer to the information located here for detailed settings regarding IMAP, POP and authenticated SMTP.
Thank you,
