Common Errors
Symptom: The messages that you send out come back as a bounce message with the following error:
553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
Cause: SMTP Authentication is not enabled in your e-mail client
Solution: Enable SMTP Authentication in your e-mail client
Symptom: When sending messages out, the server repeatedly asks for your username & password, despite having entered the right ones
Cause: If you are sending out using the regular port 25, it is possible that your local Internet Provider is intercepting SMTP communications on port 25 and forcing you to use their own SMTP servers. Your SMTP credentials would thus fail against their servers
Solution: Change your outgoing SMTP server port to another value. You can use ports 26 or 587 for regular/TLS server or port 465 for SSL service.
