Meanwhile ... I do have her set up with port 25 and no authentication. She tells me that most of the time it works fine. However, just occasionally she gets an error message as here, the most recent one ..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client. host86-137-195-83.range86-137.btcentralplus.com ([192.168.1.65]) [86.137.195.83]:54372 is not permitted to relay through this server without authentication.. Please check the message recipient jcawsey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and try again." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This made me wonder if the set up at chanterferguson was such that it refused to accept any emails where the SMTP server did not have any authentication set up. Since her email set up normally works just fine, with the very occasional blip as above, I cannot see any other explanation. I have just recently come across the idea of free services as mentioned by you above, Mailjet.com. I will have a look into this.
