Logicman 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I've been using Eudora since 1994. Once in a while, this weird error happens. I send mail to a perfectly normal email address like someguy@yahoo.com, press send, Eudora connects to the mail server, tries to send the message, and then pukes with this error message: "Can't send to ". The server gives this reason: '550 email client.'. I've checked everything. I have authentication turned on. In fact, I never quit Eudora at all, and it was sending mail fine last night. I haven't changed any settings either. Anybody else know what could be the problem? Googling isn't helping because most of them think it's because authentication is not turned on. It is.

Logicman 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 follow-up: I turned on detailed logs in Eudora and here's a relevant portion from the logs: 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "220-server97.******.com ESMTP Exim 4.44 #1 Sun, 20 Mar 2005 01:26:34 -0500 \r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited, \r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "220 and/or bulk e-mail.\r\n" 1660 32:1.2 Sent: "EHLO zeus.shiokfood.com\r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "250-server97.******.com Hello zeus.shiokfood.com [61.246.58.99]\r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "250-SIZE 52428800\r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "250-PIPELINING\r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN\r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "250-STARTTLS\r\n" 1660 64:1.2 Rcvd: "250 HELP\r\n" 1660 32:1.2 Sent: "AUTH LOGIN\r\n" 1660 64:1.3 Rcvd: "334 VXNlcm5hbWU6\r\n" 1660 32:1.3 Sent: "bWFpbC5zaGlva2Zvb2QuY29tOmNoZWYrc2hpb2tmb29kLmNvbQ==\r\n" 1660 64:1.3 Rcvd: "334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6\r\n" 1660 32:1.3 Sent: "bG9wdHVr\r\n" 1660 64:1.4 Rcvd: "535 Incorrect authentication data\r\n" 1660 32:1.4 Sent: "RSET\r\n" 1660 64:1.5 Rcvd: "250 Reset OK\r\n" 1660 32:1.5 Sent: "MAIL FROM:<chef@shiokfood.com>\r\n" 1660 64:1.6 Rcvd: "250 OK\r\n" 1660 32:1.7 Sent: "RCPT TO:<chilliesandchutney@yahoogroups.com>\r\n" 1660 64:1.8 Rcvd: "550-(zeus.shiokfood.com) [61.246.58.99] is currently not permitted to relay\r\n" 1660 64:1.8 Rcvd: "550-through this server.

TCH-Don 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 There are a lot of Endora users here, hopefully one of them will see this and have an idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Logicman 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 It seems that it's a Eudora problem. I tried setting up an account in Outlook Express and sending the mail and it went through fine. So it's obviously not a problem with the server (which is a relief.) I've posted the question on Qualcomm's forums. Maybe those guys will have a better idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCH-Don 0 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 (edited) Things to check My server requires authentication and maybe change outgoing mail port to 26 ---------- ok you are already doing the authentication thing if you find out, please let us know it may help others.

Rubyb 0 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi all, I've used the same version of Eudora for years. And today, that mysterious 550 message started blocking all of the e-mails I was trying to send. This often happens when I'm on the road, but rarely at the home computer. * heavy sigh * Eudora Tech Support offers this bit of information http://eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1593hq.html The net result, if changing the outgoing mail port doesn't work, then you might have to use the SMTP server of the ISP into which you are dialing, hardwired, or wireless for sending mail. I changed the SMTP server to that of my cable modem company and my e-mails were then sent. For travelers, make a note of your changes. Cause when on the road, this change will affect your ability to send mail. You may need to change it back to mail.your-tch-website.com, or to another SMPT server that works for you. If you are using the most recent version of Eudora, you can use the SMPT relay feature for sending mail: http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/2107hq.html Am hoping this note saves forum members a few hours of homework and frustration. All the best, Ruby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

t-rowan 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 And today, that mysterious 550 message started blocking all of the e-mails I was trying to send.I'm getting this message today, however, I'm trying to send through SquirelMail. This is the actual error message - Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable Server replied: 550 server27.tchmachines.com www.xxxxxx.cc) [xx.xx.xx.xx] is currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on in your email client. Is this a setting I have wrong in cPanel, or do I need to open a ticket? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

t-rowan 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 How are you trying to send email? Webmail? Email client?Webmail using SquirelMail, I get the same error in Firefox & IE. I thought it might be due to some type of blocking at work, but I went home at lunch and had the same result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
