Still not able to send messages to other peoplein OE 5.02 for Mac.

[MW misc]

Thanks

We have Outlook Express Version 5.02 for Mac.

Oddly enough we got it working partially only! i.e. only by sending a test
email to ourselves (let's call our email address '(e-mail address removed)')so it
worked from '(e-mail address removed)' to '(e-mail address removed)' by :

1. IT WORKED WHEN WE left the the email address and password filled in, 'Log
On Using Account ID and Password' box button selected, and then 'Use same
settings as incoming mail server' button deselected, and 'SMTP server
requires authentication' box ticked

but all other emails from '(e-mail address removed)' to other people fail!

The error message OE gives is:
This system is not configured to relay mail to <[email protected]>
for 10.1.50.1

Please CC all replies directly to

<[email protected]>
<[email protected]>

as well as posted here to Newsgroup as we will get emails first

Thanks

Many ISPs require that you be directly connected to their service (not via another ISP,
corporate LAN, etc.) in order to send via their SMTP mail server. (They match your IP
address against those owned by the service.) An exception is made for messages being sent
to recipients of their service. The typical error message will be "Cannot Relay" or "Not
Local" or "Not Gateway", "Not Allowed Rcpthost" or something similar. A workaround for
this is to use the SMTP mail server of the service that you connect via, but leave your
other settings the same.
