Different email software has different ways of setting up authentication. Our mail server requires authentication. There are different places within email programs to set this up - make sure that you have checked the box that implies Authentication Required for outgoing mail. You authenticate for incoming mail when you enter your username and password. This does not guarantee you will be able to send mail. Please refer to the links on this page for Installing the Certificate and the instructions for setting up your account.

Why do these errors occur?
Due to the high volume of spam many ISP's subscribe to various "Blacklists". In addition many ISP's develop their own blacklists based upon spam they identify on their own networks. At CompanyV we do both.
Relay Denied errors generally occur when a senders IP address is detected in one or more blacklists

Resolution:
If you receive an email feedback report from CompanyV regarding email you sent that contains a notice that someone complained about an email you sent it is due to a complaint we received from a feedback loop with another provider. NOTE: We do not send warnings of account suspension that way - there are scams that do that! Please let us know if you do not understand an email you get from us!
Go to mail settings:
1) Advanced button turn ssl off
2) Then go to to SMTP server settings and turn it on
If that does not solve the problem and you have all the settings correct you may need to delete the account and set it up again.
Attachments are tricky. Your attachment may be larger than it looks! A pdf that appears to be about 10MB on your local machine may actually be double that size when it goes through the cod crunching required to sent through a mail server. to see the size of an attachment through the mail server process - log into your account in webmail and attache the file (bee sure to click "add" after you find the attachment. You will see the file size after encoding and the limit.
