Try putting in the actual IP address of the SMTP server like 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or whatever your private network address is. Mine didn't like using localhost or 127.0.0.1]]> Fri, 23 Jun 2006 05:47:13 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/cant-post-email-error_topic20385_post109498.html#109498 <![CDATA[Can't post - email error??? : Try putting in the username and...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/cant-post-email-error_topic20385_post109483.html#109483 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

Try putting in the username and password for the email account you are using.

The problem is this error is returned by the SMTP server and not from the web wiz fourms software.

Web Wiz Forums is correctly passing the email to the SMTP server, but the SMTP server is rejecting the email because it wants a username and password to relay on emails to non-local email addresses.

I have just checked, and the folks over at MEPro told me that I must enable the localhost to relay, ie input 127.0.0.1 into the IPs allowed to send email -- and that is done, was already done actually.l
 
Yet, the forum continues to squawk about sending off an email when posting a new message....
 
Can you tell me, is there a settting INSIDE Admin I might have wrong...or perhaps the code itself in functions_send_mail.asp is incorrect for CDOSYS on my server?

???

Having SMTP server authentication when sending emails through Mail Enable is advisable to stop spammers using your SMTP server to relay on emails.

I have MailEnable Pro on a few of my dedicated server boxes, so I know you can change the Relay settings through the mangment console by going to server -> localhost -> Connectors -> SMTP -> Properties

However, for info you should checkout the MailEnable knowledge base on the MailEnable site, I find it extremely useful when messing with MailEnable.

It looks like your SMTP server you are using requires that you use authentication to send emails through it.

Contact your web hosts to get the username and password required for the SMTP server, then enter these details into the username and password field in the email setup page in the admin area of the forum.
