POP3 error???

[craigholt1]

I have connected a computer to a windows 2003 sbs server with no issues, however when I try and send an email using pop3 it errors with an error 530?? I am not using POP3 connector or exchange on the server just an independant email account (yahoo). I can collect mails, I just cannot send any. When not connected to the domain the email account the mail works fine. Please help.

If the client is using Outlook make sure that there is no exchange account setup on his outlook profile. Just because you are not using it doesnt mean that the sbs didnt set one up. If there is an exchange account set up in the outlook users profile outlook usually defaults outbound e-mails to exchange. So that account needs to be removed. If this is not the case please paste the actual error so i can see what server is sending you the error.

The actual message that I get is:
Task mail.xxxxxx.com - Sending reported error (0x800CCC78) : Unable to send the message. Please verify the e-mail address in your account properties. the server responded: 530 authentication required - for help go to

The settings appear to be correct because when I set them up on the machines local profile and to not connect to the sbs2003 domain they work and we can send emails fine??

I would make sure that you have steps 6 and 7 set up correctly. Smtp servers really dont care if your computer is atteched to a domain or not. But if an outgoing smtp server requires authentication (which yahoo does) you have to make sure that check box is checked. Let me know how this works for you.
