If a server requires STMP authentication, can't I do that by manually Getting mail and then quickly manually Sending?
(I don't want to do this regularly, but just as a test, to see if that's the problem). My dial-up ISP just gave me some new phone numbers to try out because of a problem with the existing ones. I connect fine with the new numbers, but cannot send, getting the error: > ** 550 5.7.1 <recipient's e-mail address>... Relaying denied > ** SMTP server error "503 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient)" He just told me: It's a little complicated. The new provider [of our new phone numbers] has not given us specific IP numbers for our dial-up modems. Without the IP numbers, the WGN server does not know who you are. That's why I suggested to have the outgoing mail authentication. More in depth, my provider was recently taken over by a new company. When that happened, I was getting the same error, and it was eventually fixed by their giving me new name server addresses to enter in the TCP/IP panel. Otherwise, I didn't have to change any settings. For reasons I don't understand, it (apparently) was only Macs who needed these new addresses, and who were experiencing these errors. Apparently PCs got the info automatically, or something like that. So I asked him if this could be the same thing and if perhaps he had new name server addresses I could enter, which is when he told me the above, which I don't fully understand. The old versions I have of Eudora and Netscape also give me the same error and I was hoping to easily test whether STMP authentication was the problem, before digging into the longterm solution the gurus here have worked out, or alternatively, just living with the problem that recently cropped up with the old numbers, which is a weird one in itself. Thanks for your insight.
