Re: Outbound email problems - any other reports?
I'd be suspicious that the client setting for "My outgoing server requires authentication" is what fixed it. The server names are aliases:
And...
Although, maybe, your DNS cache still had the old IP address for 'mail.pacbell.net', and a 'ipconfig -flushdns' at a command prompt would have fixed things.

| Hello, i'm home now and i am getting the same error code  .
"send test e-mail: unable to send test message, please verify the email address". I also tried to flush dns and i get the following error "could not flush the dns resolver Cashe: function failed during execution"
i have my outbound set to smtpauth.sbcglobal.net
I've tried checking my outgoing server requires authentication and use same settings as my incoming mail server...and i've tried it without authentication.
Am i using the correct server domain? What domain should i use for the inbound? It is currently working with postoffice.pacbell.net.
thanks!!! |

| Hello all, I did a google search and figured out how to access the dns settings
1) Click Start
2) Click RUN
3) Type services.msc in the text box
4) Click OK or hit Enter
5) Scroll down to DNS Client and double click it
6) Select General tab and select Startup type: Automatic
7) Click Apply
7) Finally at Service Status Click Start (if it is stopped)
...Then i was able to flush the dns. Then i changed the outbound server as you suggested and also (checked) my outgoing server requires authentication. clicked Log-on using my user name and password.
Thanks a bunch for helping an average computer guy....my wife will be very happy  . Thanks! |
