• SMTP Help

    From Lupine Furmen@21:4/102 to All on Tuesday, January 26, 2021 14:41:05
    Ok, I just configured my SMTP settings (outbound only, not running a server) but when I try to send email to my internet mail address it immediately comes back saying that there is no such user.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Probably should paste your settings for SMTP so we can see it. Don't know
    what you're doing wrong if we can't see what you've done.

    If you're saying that it's coming back eventually with an email rejection from the recipient SMTP server, then there's something wrong with the email address before the @ symbol.

    If it's literally immediate, then I'm guessing it doesn't like the format of your username in the SMTP settings. For example, with gMail the username is your full email address, not just the part before the @ symbol.
