"550 relay not permitted" I think it explains the error fairly well, in fact. Relay is not permitted. Either smtp relay has been disabled completely or has been changed to require smtp auth or the auth you're using is no longer valid on the mail server due to a removed user acct or a changed password... It could be any number of exact issues really, but the bottom line is that the smtp server through which you are attempting to relay your messages is not allowing you to relay mail through it.
Brad, what's the situation with the server, is it a shared server somewhere; is it a server at your home; is it on the network at your office...? ***************** Ken Ferguson 214.636.6126 ***************** Casey Dougall wrote: > I believe roadrunner will throw back that error when you are on their block > list...
