Re: New lower cost IBM i announced

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've heard of a lot of customers using a PC proxy for this as well.  Talk
about a bandaid fix.  :)

One thing that makes me think MS may be moving away from the SMTP server
and to the APIs is that they are not planning on updating their SMTP
servers to be able to use OAuth 2.0.  Google does.  Outlook.com does.  But
Office will not.  Why?  They don't really say, but they do point you to the
API that uses OAuth 2.0.

I actually find the API to be a lot quicker, even if you're refreshing a
token during the process.  Delivery seems faster as well.
