Subject: Relaying Denied

Hello,

I installed PC-Pine 4.50 on my work machine, and configured it to open my
inbox; no problems so far.

But when I try to send a message, it says:

"message not sent... relaying denied"

This does not happen when I use PC-Pine on my home machine.

I searched the pine-info archives for "relaying denied" but couldn't find
anything.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Brian

> "message not sent... relaying denied"

This is not a Pine problem, but a mail server issue.  The SMTP server you
have specified is apparently not willing to accept email from you unless
it's destined for that server's domain.  For example, if you dial in to
AOL but specify UFL as your SMTP server, UFL sees you as an outsider.  If
you attempt to send email to somebody inside UFL that's OK but if you try
to send email to somebody outside UFL that's considered "bad" relaying and
is a typical trick spammers used (use somebody else's mail system to send
tens of thousands of messages).  You need to talk to UFL folks in this
case to get the issue resolved, and they may tell you "if you connect via
AOL, use AOL's server, period."

Alternatively, since you said this was your work machine (and presumably
connected to UFL's network) perhaps you have configured a non-UFL SMTP
server; same issue, other way around.

	Hello,

seems that your company is using MS Exchange for mail. and this error
message means that Exchange has been configured to deny any SMTP request
... to force people using Outlook as mail client :-(
nothing to do on your side, you need to ask the admins to allow you
to do this but I do not think they will agree ..

bad move.
