Email Help

Dazed · September 18th, 2006, 8:54 PM

I have some software that I am using on my dedicated server to send email to new members.

When I enter the email settings, the same ones I use in Outlook, I get the below error when the software is trying to send an email. I am thinking this has to do with authentication? Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Failed to set sender:

localhost [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 501, response: : no local part)]

Thanks!

yes.

I thought this may have to do with enabling localhost in exim.conf.

localhost is basically a relayer correct?

It got a little quiet here. Anyone?

For server have you tried:

1) your IP#
2) simply "localhost"
3) 127.0.0.1

?
either should work.

User name as the entire e-mail address, also try with "+" instead of "

" (name+domain.tld).
