What is the error message that you get? And are you sending the mail from the localhost (e.g. when logged onto the Cobalt or from a script) or are you using the SMTP service?

I have set and reset all of the settings. I get mail, but it doesn't go out. I get an error message.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to install pop-auth to send mail through the server from your ISP account (which is what you are doing). -Or use your ISP's SMTP server to send out mail. Some ISP's won't even relay the mail anyhow (even with pop-auth).

Things we need to know:

Error message.
ISP you use to connect to the internet.
Haave you installed pop-auth?

I understand they are moving servers, so this thread might have gotten caught somewhere.

Pop-auth is an authentication process where users have to authenticate to send e-mail, instead of anyone being allowed to use smtp.yourname.com. You'd need a user/pass to send mail using it.

The way that's just we do things here around bass ackwards.

:confused: See, even the post isn't what I put! Buggy board. Maybe if we move it enough times the forums will switch around too! (*Crosses fingers*).

First of all, how did Vincent Paglione's post get ahead of mine when I am the one who started this thread?

Secondly, what is "pop-auth" and how do I install it?
