*Using SMTP Server
Per dialup session, you would need to be authenticated to
use the SMTP(Outgoing Mail) server. This is to prevent spammers
from gaining access to your SMTP server. Here is how you can
be authenticated:
1) Get connected to the Internet
2) Start your email software.
3) Make sure there is no outgoing mail in your outbox.
4) Log into the POP server to check your email
5) Now you are authenticated and you should be able to send
and receive email w/o any problems. As long as you don't quit
the program and stay connected to the net, you wouldn't need
to be authenticated anymore.
If your SMTP access is denied after trying the steps above,
you would need to contact your ISP. It is likely that they
are not allowing relay to outside SMTP server. More and more
ISP's are implementing this feature to prevent spamming.
There is a very easy workaround to this. All you have to
do is use your ISP's SMTP server. This does not affect how
your email address appears on your outgoing emails. When recipients
of your message hit the reply button, they will see your email
address at your domain name.
