I’m a total n00b, so I’m sorry if this is a stupid question. I set up a contact@mydomain.com email and now I’m trying to send and receive message from my iPad. Whenever I send a message, it tells me it can’t be delivered because “Server does not allow relaying”. Anybody know how I can fix this?
That sort of error can occur if your mail client isn’t setup to authenticate when sending an email.
Without authenticating, it can’t distinguish between you, and someone trying to send spam. Once you set it up to authenticate when sending outgoing emails, that error should go away.
Ok, it looks like its an iOS thing. I tried setting up the email on my Pre and it connecting successfully. I can send e-mails…however now I can’t receive e-mails. The person who sends it gets “Relay Access Denied (State 14)”
First off, thank you so much for all the quick responses. I really appreciate it.
I can send e-mail from the contact@mydomain email and others receive it successfully, but if I try and send an email to the contact@mydomain email, I get the State 14 error.
So if you’re emailing contact@mydomain from an external account (such as Gmail), do you get that error then? Or do you only have that problem when sending the email using an account on your server?
