Problem With Eudora
I downloaded the free Eudora email program and have a problem sending emails. Whenever I try to send I get the error message, "An address has error: 5.7.1 Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed."
I have tried this with two different email address (diffferent domains) which I know to be correct. What could be the problem?

Sounds like Eudora cannot connect to your SMTP server. Check to make sure you have entered the correct value.

Value?
I correctly entered the name of the server, but not a value. As a matter of fact, I don't know what that is.

For example:
smtp.mail.yahoo.com for sending mail
pop.mail.yahoo.com for fetching

The "value" for that field is the name of the server.
Some mailers don't like to send mail it can't authenticate.
At home I can use the cable companies SMTP server for any account. But on i500 eudora I can't. If I use the account SMTP server and not their dial-in, it's not happy. Many SMTP servers won't let you connect if you're tying to use a different address.

That may be it, then. I'm using the cable company SMTP server. That's probably the cause. I guess I have to abandon Eudora and try another program.
Thanks for the info. |

Although...
...although I guess the cable SMTP server might reject any other email program I use with my i500. Bummer.

BTW... If you are using Comcast cable. There is a way you can get it to work with Eudora on the i500. I can post settings if anyone needs them.

Many email accounts have an SMTP server attached to them. I check four accounts regularly on my laptop and just use each account's SMTP server. This way I am sure that I can send email wherever I am. Each of them requires authentication as well.
I'd be interested to see those instructions for ComCast cable, just for sh*ts and giggles.
