Having problems with sending mail?
You might want to try to simulate a smtp session to see what goes wrong exactly.
Start a msdos prompt and type:
C:\WINDOWS>telnet smtp.xs4all.nl 25
Your smtp may be different offcourse.
Trying 194.109.6.51... Connected to smtp.xs4all.nl. Escape character is '^]'. 220 smtp-vbr11.xs4all.nl ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:03:50 +0200 (CEST)
Type “helo” followed by your domain
helo bogusdomain.nl 250 smtp-vbr11.xs4all.nl Hello xxxxxxxxx [a.b.c.d], pleased to meet you
Type “mail from:” followed by your email address
mail from:[email protected] 250 2.1.0 [email protected]... Sender ok
Type “rcpt to:” followed by your email address
rcpt to:[email protected] 553 5.3.0 [email protected]... Relaying denied,Authenticate with your username and password first
Now we see what is wrong here. This server doesn’t allow me to relay.
Type “quit” to exit.
quit 221 2.0.0 smtp-vbr11.xs4all.nl closing connection Connection closed by foreign host.
If you didn’t get an error after “rcpt-to:”, continue with:
250 2.1.5 Ok data 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> hello hugo . 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 60D2A4A24A quit 221 2.0.0 Bye
Mail should arrive now.
