With their new email procedures, MSN seems to have done away with pop3 email, forcing users to use MSN's web based system.

This is no problem if you only use you MSN email, but if you have a third party email service (like on your domain) you can no longer send email without going through MSN's web based service.

I spoke with several customer service reps at MSN, and they all had the same basic message.... "Well I guess that's just tough s**t for you... isnt it?!"

Next week I will have the pleasure of calling each of my clients and asking them what ISP they are using to handle their email, and informing some of them that they'll need to make a change if they want to continue sending mail through their sites. Thanks a bunch MSN.

I encourage anyone else affected by this to shoot off a nasty email to the idiots over at MSN.
