Since the CRAM-MD5 authorization method is considered to be out of date, we are deactivating it on the smtp.forpsi.com server.
Below is an overview of mail clients that support this type of authorization and a guide on how to choose a more reliable method of authorization.
You don't have to do any changes in the email client MS Outlook, because it doesn't support the method of authorization CRAM-MD5.

PrintersIf you are using the email account for authoriazion on a printer, contact our customer support.
Currently, the configuration of the smtp server smtp.forpsi.com is set up in a way, that it still offers CRAM-MD5 authorization, however it is not available for certain domains. Some printers use a method based on the offered methods of authorization by the smtp server (currently LOGIN, PLAIN and CRAM-MD5). After CRAM-MD5 is not offered by the smtp server smtp.forpsi.com the 4th of August 2021, the printer will instead automatically use the LOGIN or PLAIN method. This affects the following printers
