Topic: Send email via ISP's SMTP server

[Daley]

Hi,

I wish to use the SME server to deliver the outgoing message via my Internet provider's SMTP server, however, my ISP SMTP is authorization required, how can i make it work?

Thank you,
Daley

Hi,
more input required:

How do you connect to your ISP?
Do you have a "real-life-domain" on you e-smith?
Is that domain hosted by your provider somehow?
What authorization? There are several ways of authentification.

First of all you should ask you provider and his FAQ, how his SMTP-Authentification works.

Then tell us.

Hi az,

I am using the ADSL broadband connection to my ISP, yes, i have real life domain running on my sme server.

No, this domain is not hosted/registered by my ISP, because of the new changes, the ISP is required the SMTP authentication before any mail can be deliver.

in order to deliver the mail, we must obtain the valid ISP account, the userid/pasword will be the authentication key, and message must be secure authenticated and then will be able to deliver out.

Thank you,
Daley

Hi, Daley,

then by all means you should deliver SMTP outgoing mail directly.

I simply can not figure out, how e-smith would provide smtp-authentification delivery to provider; it probably wont do that.

You will have no advantage at all if you deliver directly. I do it this way (almost similar setup for more than 2 years now without any problems).

Hello all,

My good friend Joe Morrison posted an e-smith "hack" as he called it on his site to do this. Visit www.powerframe.com and point to his e-smith folder.

Running Mitel's version of SME 6.0, this gets half way (I get an 550 Administrative prohibition error) but it is a close deal.

If anyone has experience of R6 with DynDns MailHop Outbound service so I can send to AOL users and other mailing lists (which are currently telling me to get lost) I'd be a happy lad.
