Error message: 550 relay not permitted

[Mick Cant]

Hi all,
I have a AMD Athlon (tm) XP 2400+ Computer
2.01 GHz
768 MB of RAM
Microsoft Windows XP Home Version 2002 with Service Pack 1

Using Office XP Professional Version 2002

I have just changed my ISP and have broadband, I can receive mail from both
accounts through the broadband account
which is set as the default account, but if I reply to mail from the non
default account, I get an error message
550 relay not permitted
is this because outlook it trying to send it through the account that I am
not connected to?
if I copy and past it into a new message it is sent ok
is there any other way round this please?

You can try using authentication on the second account - tools, accounts,
change existing account. Select the second mail account and Change. Under
more settings there is an outgoing server tab - set it to use the incoming
mail password when you send mail.

Who is your broadband through? They may require you to use their SMTP
servers for outbound mail - if so, you'll need to change the SMTP on the
second account.

Thank you Diane,
the broadband is with "freenetname" also called "brightview" I believe
reading my post again, I should have said I am not trying to reply from the
second account "clara" I just want to
receive mail from them, as I can, and reply to all post from the default
freenetname account.
