If you are able to receive emails but are having trouble sending out emails from your email software - whether it be Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora etc - and you are getting errors like the ones below:
- The message could not be sent because one of the recipients were rejected by the server
- Sending and receiving reported error
You most likely have not told your email software that your outgoing server requires authentication.
Simply follow the steps below to correct the mistake
