Gol darn it...somethings changed on the server...
 
When I try to Register using a madeup account, I continue to get the same error -
===================================
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while sending an email.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_Access_send_mail_footer
File Name:- functions_send_mail.asp

Error details:-

The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 503 This mail server requires authentication when attempting to send to a non-local e-mail address. Please check your mail client settings or contact your administrator to verify that the domain or address is defined for this server.
==========================
So I logged into the server, and checked the SMTP settings. Right now, it's set to "Allow relay for authenicated user" and the autentication is set to the MailEnable integrated authenication checkbox. The only other two options are "windows authenication" or "use this name/pw combination" and two fields to enter the items.
 
WHat I wanna know is - from maybe someone who also uses MailenablePro, is what setting do I use? Am I on the right one, as that's the default choice.
 
Lastly, when I try to create a new user using a mail address that IS on that server (ie from one of my other domains) it allows me to Reg and sends out the email properly...it just wont' send out one when the domain in the email address is NOT on taht server...
 
help here guys?

To prevent spammers from abusing your SMTP server as a open relay I would leave the authentication in place.

I find with MailEnable that as long as it can authenticate you against a user on the system it will allow relay.

The simplest way to do this is create a mailbox in MailEnable, then in web wiz forums in the email setup page in the admin area enter the username and password for the mailbox you have just created in MailEnable.

MailEnable should then be able to authenticate you and allow you to relay your emails to non-local addresses.

Thanks borg...but that's exactly what I DID do a bit ago, and things ran fine.
 
But now, a new member (who is supposed to get the email to activate their account) only gets that error...
 
ie what "did" work, now doesn't...and I've made NO changes to the mailserver or server either in the last 10 days....
 
might there be any other problem that someone else has found?
 
???
