I've tried this with my information to no avail. I can send mail to
addresses within my employer's domain (as before), but not outside it.
Does it matter that our mail clients are required to use SSL to
authenticate? Would I need some extra settings to handle that?
The relevant error from my SMTP trace is:
550 5.7.1 <billw@mchsi.com>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
Thanks -
