Using SMTP Server-Troubleshooting:
Per dialup session, you would need to be authenticated to use the
SMTP (Outgoing Mail) server. This is to prevent spammers from gaining
access to your SMTP server. Here is how you can be authenticated:
1) Get connected to the Internet
2) Start your email software.
3) Make sure there is no outgoing mail in your outbox.
4) Log into the POP server to check your email
5) Now you are authenticated and you should be able to send and
receive email w/o any problems. As long as you don't quit the program
and stay connected to the net, you wouldn't need to be authenticated
anymore.
If your SMTP access is denied after trying the steps above, you would
need to contact your ISP. It is likely that they are not allowing
relay to outside SMTP server. More and more ISP's are implementing
this feature to prevent spamming.
There is a very easy workaround to this. All you have to do is use
your ISP's SMTP server. This does not affect how your email address
appears on your outgoing emails. When recipients of your message hit
the reply button, they will see your email address at your domain
name.
