Whenever a member tries to use the Send Mail feature of the forum they get this error msg. In the forum setup everything appears to be correct - mail sends out for the test and when memebrs sign up... I am confused with the issue - anyone have any suggestions?

The mail server is rejecting the email. It could be that the type of authentication used by the mail servers it requires the from address to be a local mailbox.

You should contact your mail server admin and ask what relay restrictions they have in place on the mail server.

Hello:

My server is using the Persits AspEmail mail component component and i have the same problem, of course.

Web wiz is absolutelly right and my server only allows to send emails from an existing and unique recipient.

A way to solve the problem is just modify some code lines related to the aspEmail in the program function_send_email.asp

Here enclose the modifications to be done:

1.- Create a new variable such

Dim straspemailsender

2.- Declare the variable value:

straspemailsender = mailto:mailname@yourdomain.com - mailname@yourdomain.com 'This is the recipient with permissions to send emails

3.- Delete or ignore the 'who the e-mail is from

'Who the e-mail is from
'.From = strFromEmailAddress

4.- Add the new e-mail is from variable

.From = straspemailsender

This little modifications should eventually solve your problem. I solved in that way.

Webwiz should eventually correct me if i am in a wrong.

Question: Is there any other way to solve this non critical issue?

Thanks

Santiago Duarte.

There is, by placing your settings into the Email Settings page of the admin area.

Just enter your email address as the forums email address and the corresponding username and password for the SMTP server.
