SMTP woes (not that ol' chestnut)

[Buzzeditor]

I'm getting the: 'Your message has not been delivered to all intended recipients etc" message with a connection dropped by service notice.

I've tried five different SMTP including gmail and BTConnect.

Here is one delivery message I get :

[01] 8/17 15:25:07 ~ Status: Opening connection for delivery...

Can anyone help me?

 

[stanbusk]

Try to use ESMTP from the authentication rather than POP. You can change that from the settings panel, where it says 'Authentication'.

 

[Buzzeditor]

Thanks, I have tried that and used my email account username and password - still none of the accounts work.

Any more clues?

 

[stanbusk]

What connection log do you get with ESMTP selected?

 

[Buzzeditor]

Here goes, I hope you can make sense of this:

[stanbusk]

You get a '530 Access denied' error. That means your User ID is wrong, your password is wrong or both are wrong.

 

[Buzzeditor]

I used my login details that I use to access the broadband - do I need an email username and password? I'm sharing a friend's BT Broadband wirelessly - I don't have his email login.

I have a Googlemail account - can I use that username and password?

Is there a way I can use Max Bulk Mailer without having to use a username and password?

You need the server credentials in order to be granted to send messages. Check if there isn't any errors with the data, I mean, given servers use the full email address as the user ID, others only the text before the '@' character.

I have a Googlemail account - can I use that username and password?

Google settings are listed here

No, you can't send a message thru a server without authenticating first.
