Oh no not aqain - SMTP problems!

The last time I blogged was quite a while ago and had problems with very slow outgoing Emails using Thunderbird and with Outlook they went straight to my out box and never sent.

I did a Wormly SMTP server test and it comes up with
Quote:
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:
550 Administrative prohibition - relaying not allowed
SMTP -> ERROR: RCPT not accepted from server: 550 Administrative prohibition - relaying not allowed

Message sending failed.
So does this look like a config. fault at their end?

I think it's high time I kicked this shower of a firm into touch, because when you phone up... there's a maintenance issue it'll be fixed by 1pm... you phone later and it'll be fixed by 4pm so it went on and on.

I explained the above and they had me checking this and checking that in very poor English, I also explained that this had happened before they didn't want to know - why can't they listen?

They actually resolved the issue last time after I reporting them to CISAS which was many moons ago so it seems.

Are the SMTPs really that bad, could anyone throw any light - thanks?
