Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / February 2006Eudora not sending- relay problem
Hello, Like the previous person's posting, at work Eudora 6.23 will receive but it will not send. I have to check the exact wording, but it basically says 'relay denied'. However, I can receive mail. Is there a preference I can Trash that might have become corrupted? Thanks. > Like the previous person's posting Aside: there is no such concept as "previous person" or even "previous message" on Usenet. What your newsreader presents as "previous" to you might be next, ancient or future for someone else. Thus the only reliable way to point to a specific message, is to provide its Message ID. >, at work Eudora 6.23 will receive but > it will not send. I have to check the exact wording, but it basically > says 'relay denied'. "Relay denied" suggests you're connected to the Internet through one access provider, and trying to use the SMTP server of another. The owner of the SMTP server is not allowing you to do so. They require you access the Internet through their service. My impression is this is basically a cheap security measure. Better ISPs use authentication mechanisms that do not limit their customers in such ways. > However, I can receive mail. Is there a preference I can Trash that > might have become corrupted? Nothing to do with Eudora, a settings file, or your Mac. It's the SMTP server's owner's policy that's the issue.

Sheesh. > > Aside: there is no such concept as "previous person" or even "previous > > message" on Usenet. > > Yes there is. Just look at the time stamp. > > Sheesh. Many of us do not sort on Date/Time, but by References. Even if you'd be willing to sort on time, a |previous" message might already have been marked read and thus not fetched again, or not be available on the particular newsserver you use. (Let alone that I doubt timestamps are very reliable on Usenet.) SignatureSander Tekelenburg, <http://www.euronet.nl/~tekelenb/> Mac user: "Macs only have 40 viruses, tops!" PC user: "SEE!

Look at it this way: People may reply to the original message on a topic, or they may reply to any of the replies. And they may reply to the replies as well. So just because the time stamp is the next earliest does not mean that it was the "previous person" to a particular posting, It may have been a reply to an earlier posting not related to the one you are reading.

When you see "relay denied" you should see a "help" button. If you click on that button, it will open your browser to make a knowledge base search with error. Try these by order 1) Enable SMTP authencation. 2) If it still fails, try "use submission port" enabled (it is port 583) 3) Still fails, contact your mail admin/ISP and describe the exact problem with the measures you have taken (step 1 and 2) Have a nice day Ilgaz Signaturenotice the change in e mail address. |
