    so INCOMING mail is ok? very odd, all the emails I know only use the 1 password :s
    :idea:
  • The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was [EMAIL="'xxxxx@yahoo.co.uk'"]'xxxxx'[/EMAIL]. Subject 'xxxxxx ', Account: 'mail.fast4.net', Server: 'mailhost.fast4.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 relay not permitted', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: xxxxx

    Above error message is what i get- incoming server is mail.fast4.net (this is ok);

    outgoing server was smtp.fast4.net, whuch worked fine for ages untill probs started.. I have tried the alternative mailhost.fast4.net, with both user ID and full email address as the signon..

    I would contact fast4, it looks like a problem at their end.
  • query sent, thanks..

    ** anyone on an existing fast4 unmetered pacakage bets contact them (via website only?) to get the reduced price of £6.99 a month, which is currently advertised on their site..

    so nice of them not to let me know, or change the subscription..

    Why not just change to 'googlemail'? Way simpler and you can still use it no matter what computer you have or who your provider is.
