Hello again, Sorry to be a pain, but I've run across a problem and I'm not sure there is a solution. One of my test domains has smtp authentication turned on, so when I configured the routing as we discussed, it works until it hits their mail server. It then rejects the mail with the follwing error.
If I can send smtp authentication along with it that would solve the problem, but I can't see how to do that. Is it possible or are we stuck if a domains mail server has smtp authentication on. Is there any way around the error as below? Returned mail error: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at (Relaying SA server). I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: User and password not set, continuing without authentication. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550-(Relaying SA server) [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:52470 is currently not permitted to 550-relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap 550-server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on 550 in your email client. Giving up on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Thanks Again.
