Error Message Undeliverable: Relay Access Denied

[Guest]

I've sent three emails now that all come back with this message from the
system administrator. What does it mean and why can't I send email anymore?

Thanks in advance.

Are you trying to send email to a different account than your account at
your ISP?
Is so, open settings of failing account (account not at your ISP).
For POP3 enter for pop server of your account else where.
For SMTP enter ISP mail server. It will take care of sending your emails.
Most ISP's will not allow other mail sending servers than their own
(= relaying, hence Relay Access Denied).

A Relay Access error is generated when trying to send email through a mail
server that you are not allowed to for one reason or another. You may have
to specify a username/password in your SMTP settings, or you may be outside
the ISP's network.

For example, I use Cox.net for my ISP, but I cannot send email from outside
the ISP's network without going through the webmail feature.

Usually the result of not authenticating to the outgoing server.
