Help w/ email problem..please!!

I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail. I'm 100% positive I have
the outgoing mail server right...this is what happens. I click to
send my message, and the mail goes from the outbox into the inbox with
this message:



the message is from the system administrator:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: test
Sent: 7/22/2003 1:59 AM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'(E-Mail Removed)' on 7/22/2003 1:59 AM

This is nothing to do with wireless access. The answer to the problem
is in the error message. Relaying is prohibited. Contact your ISP or
if it's your own email server, configure it appropriately.

No because I don't know which email server you have, is it one that you
run or is it your ISP's?

Your DSL provider has a different SMTP server than you used previously.
You'll need to use the SMTP server of your DSL provider. Looking at your
message header that I quoted down below, this should be the settings to use:

Incoming mail server (POP): pop.earthlink.net
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.earthlink.net

You can use Yahoo for SMTP but you have to authenticate through POP3 before
you are allowed to send mail through them... Hows everything in the Atlanta,
Georgia area?

One would think that if you could figure out how to configure the NNTP
settings, you would also be able to do the POP3 and SMTP... Geaux figure...

My servers i'm using are: pop.earthlink.net and
smtpauth.earthlink.net

My logon info and password are in and correct.

Atlanta is pretty stormy right now--other than that..just hot hot hot.

well thats wierd...the earthlink website says you must put the
stmpauth.earthlink.net server, but when using just
stmp.earthlink.net...it all works. Problem solved guys...thanks.

Ahh - having read this thread, I can see where the problem came from.

You read the instructions! Always good for confusion that one. Next thing
you know, you will ask someone for directions when you are lost instead of
just driving around for 2 extra hours
