550 Authentication is required for relay - 550 not local host

This can be due to one of the following reasons:

  • This error is most often associated with NOT having the box checked for "My server requires authentication". Check this box and then try sending.
  • Another cause of this error is that your Internet Service Provider (such as AOL or MSN or Cox) may require that you use THEIR own SMTP server to send email. You will need to check with them. If this is the case, you may or may not also need to check the "authentication" box.

NOTE: If you are using "mail.your_domain_name.com" (using your domain name) for the SMTP server, make sure that the check-box at the bottom of the screen is checked (My server requires authentication).
