Invalid from header

[Gus]

Hi everyone,
I downloaded the trial version of maxbulkmailer in order to run few tests before I buy it.
I have no problem to create fancy html mails but when I hit "send" after I got all the sender options ok, it says:

Here it is, there's only one recipient (myself) and he keeps telling me "invalid from header".

HELP ME PLEEEZZ, I'm desperate and I have an event coming....

Have you tried to authenticate? I think you are not granted to send your message because you have not authenticated first.

 

[Gus]

I use my .MAC account to send mail through smtp.mac.com and it doesn't require authentification. Do you think I should set up my .MAC pop authentification in order to have running? I will try that and come back to you later.

.Mac uses ESMTP authentication. You can find more information about .Mac settings here: .Mac settings
