Preventing abuse within a private or homogeneous network where everyone uses the same software is relatively easy.  But like most ISPs, we must provide services to people using a wide variety of software over which we have little or no control.  Therefore, we had to choose the compromise solution which will work best for most of our users, and pose the least inconvenience.

After examining all of the alternatives, and with 'identity theft' on the increase, BreedeNet chose to use SMTP Authentication to authenticate users.

Will this reduce the spam that I receive in my mailbox?

Unfortunately, it will not.  This measure only prevents non-BreedeNet users from impersonating you or sending spam through our servers.  This helps to improve your security and also reduces spam for everyone, thereby ensuring that BreedeNet's servers will not be abused.
