[gentoo-user] New install, I still can't send email. Same error too.

[Dale]

Hi guys.

The last thread seemed to have went off base due to more than one problem at a 
time.  I just finished a new install on another hard drive.  I now have a 
working Mozilla, it opens now anyway.  I still get the same error when 
sending emails I used to have though.  Here it is again:


" An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.1 
<whatever email address I am trying to send to> Relaying denied. Please 
verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try 
again."


To recap a bit.  I have a problem sending email to anyone outside my ISPs 
network.  I can't send to a yahoo, or my brothers Bell South account and some 
others too.  I can send a email to my ISPs customer service and other users 
there.

I have called my ISP and they have no problems with any other customer.  I did 
copy over my /home directory.  I also tried setting up a new user with a 
empty user directory and then tried to send a email that way, same error.  

Earlier today when I was talking to my ISP, I got them to set up a new account 
for me to test with.  I can't send any email with it either.  So after 
setting up a new user on my end and setting up a new account on their end, I 
have no clue what to try next.  Kmail is working for the moment, that's how I 
am sending this one.

I plan to try my brothers ISP tonight.  I want to see if I can send with it.  
He uses Bell South.  

What else can I try?  I have no clue what is wrong here.  Please don't tell me 
to use windoze.  I'm seriously considering installing Mandrake 9.1 and 
testing that.  It was buggy but it worked.  It may be worth testing anyway.  
Let me know if you need more info.  I'll post whatever you want, short of my 
password.  LOL

Thanks for the help.  I'm open to ideas here.
