    'error 550: relaying to X prohibited by administrator.'

    I get that if i try to send plain text using three different accounts. Only one account seems to work. Any idea what it is?

      it would appear that my @bushe.co.uk addy requires me to be using their dailup.

      Bugger.

        Well yes, this is true - no ISP will allow their mail servers to be open for relaying.
        You will only be able to send e-mail through a mail server when you are logged onto that ISP's dial-up connection - standard procedure that.
        You can however receive e-mail from all of your accounts no matter which one you are logged into.

        I simply set the outgoing mail server to the same on all my accounts - I set it to the ISP I use 99.9% of the time.

        Example:

        I use Virgin.net

        So for my @virgin.net account I use

        Incoming mail server pop.virgin.net
        Outgoing mail server smtp.virgin.net

        username - my virgin.net username
        password - my virgin.net password

        For my @prawlings.net account (personal domain)

        Incoming mail server pop.prawlings.net
        Outgoing mail server smtp.virgin.net

        Username - my prawlings.net username
        Password - my prawlings.net password

        For my @swgtips.com account (personal domain)

        Incoming mail server pop.swgtips.com
        Outgoing mail server smtp.virgin.net

        Username - my swgtips.com username
        Password - my swgtips.com password

        As I'm phyisically connected to one of Virgin's IP addresses I don't need to authenticate myself to send mail through their servers.

        Edit:
        Actually this is how I used to set my mail up, due to the way my domains are now hosted I have my own SMTP/POP servers which I use for sending even when attached to virgin.net - but I do need to authenticate by receiving mail before I can send so that my IP address is temporary added to the authorised relay list.
        It cost one penny to cross, or one hundred gold pieces if you had a billygoat.
        Trolls might not be quick thinkers but they don't forget in a hurry, either
