Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / June 2006SMTP password setting
Dear All Last night I changed my ADSL login password with Demon. here in the UK. On the service I am on (Home500), I need to receive emails from a POP3 server with one password (which still works), and send emails (using Personalities) with another, SMTP password (which doesn't work, now). Before I reset the ADSL password, all was working fine, and of course, being Demon I'm not a 100% sure that their service is working - the error message I get is "Server not responding". Would a fellow Eudora / ADSL / Demon 500 service user please remind me how to set the SMTP Authorisation password.

For what it's worth- I'm not using the Home 500 service so I don't have to use smtp auth, but I believe it's the same server over all- it's working from here. SignaturePeter > the error message I > get is "Server not responding". If the server isn't responding, try increasing the server timeout. You'll need to activate the Esoteric Settings plugin, if you haven't already, to access the server timeouts pane.

Thanks for this. Demon make emailing more difficult on their Home500 service (you have to send from a separate Eudora Personality to the Dominant). And this requires Eudora to use a POP3 password, and an SMTP password. It was working just fine on saturday, and then I needed to reset my router, and login password (a mistake in retrospect, of course!), and now I can't send emails. Like most ISPs, Demon's Technical Support is over-loaded (read understaffed), and there are only a few people there who use and understand Apple Macintosh software (despite a much-touted tie up with Apple Computer) :-( So whilst waiting for one of them to get back to me, I thought I'd ask here.

I've printed out the settings for reference - to do with relay personalities, and not ticking boxes that Eudora manual tells you to tick, AFAICS.

Hah!! Just set up a third personality which DOES require me to "Use relay personality"! So that's two that don't and one that does. Go figure.

Some will allow you to relay mail, and some won't. It used to be that most of them would, but spammers hijack them for sending out spam, so now a well-run SMTP server generally requires some kind of authentication and there are numerous different authentication schemes. If the authentication requires that you have to be using an IP address associated with the server and you're connected with an IP address not associated with the server, then you would need to set Eudora to use the relay personality when sending mail from that personality.

But I'm sending them (the personalities) all out via the same SMTP server. The differences are in "Real name" (eg "Hugh Browton (personal)", and "Hugh Browton (work)", and "Return email address" - which uses other domains which are then explicitly forwarded to my main IAP.
