Unfortunately this is one of those situations where it is a site hosted on a server of a company that a "friend of mine" used to run. His sister runs it now, but he left my site there and doesn't charge me for hosting, so I can't complain too much. I talked to him today and he suggested that I use my own mail server because they had locked theirs down to prevent spam. I can still send a single cfmail, but I think when a bunch come through at once in a mass mailing, the server rejects them.
At any rate, it is probably time I moved on to something I have more control of, even if I have to pay for it. I have E-mail hosted through godaddy.com. I can use that SMTP server, but I am limited to 250 e-mails a day. Is there an easy way just to install an SMTP server on my home computer and send through it? That might be out of the question, but I don't really know much about it.

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 Either smtp relay has been disabled completely or has been changed to require smtp auth or the auth you're using is no longer valid on the mail server due to a removed user acct or a changed password...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...
