Mmmm… use another mail client which was actually designed just to work ?

isn’t this error clear?

If it were I wouldn’t have asked the question.

I’m not trying to “Relay” to anyone. I’m trying to Send to someone.

looks like you don’t understand how the email works.
anyway, you should go to the MS Windows box that runs “Exchange”, and
start the “Exchange Admin Console”, to add the IP address of your
QNX box (or blocks of ip addresses for your qnx network) as allowed
for relay.
another solution is to setup sendmail on your local qnx box and configure
the vmail to use localhost as SMTP relay.

That message comes back from the mail server who for some
reason is refusing to send the email. Usually that because the mail server
doesn’t know you and for security reason refuse to process you
demand.

For example my ISP is x. When I’m connected via cable or modem
I can send email, but if I’m not connected via X cable or modem and
try to send an email while I’m connecting via a different ISP (at
a customer site for example) I get the relay error message.

It isn’t quite you.

Most ISP’s will not accept mail from any machine that is not within
their network ( for sending outside their network ).
That means that you cannot use any earthlink SMTP server UNLESS you are
connecting to it from an IP that the server recognises as coming from
within the blocks of IP’s that are inside their network, from owned and
operated Points Of Presence, or from a legit point that is within their
blocks of rent-a-pop providers.

As you can tell from the headers attached to anything that I originate,
it matters not what the canonical name of your machine is, nor the
destination of the message, but only that your mailer is set to use the
SMTP machine of the ISP you are connecting through.

In the case of earthlink, their servers go a bit furthur, in that they
are authenticating servers.
This means that if you attempt to use mail.earthlink.net from an IP that
could be legit, such as a dial-up rent-a-pop, but your account is with
mindspring, then relaying will be refused, and you would need to set your
mailer to use mail.mindspring.com EVEN THOUGH they are the same machine.
This because earthlink owns many domain names of former ISP’s, and that
many of the rent-a-pop’s are also used by other ISP’s that have no
affiliation with earthlink, other than they both rent access from the same
pop provider. PSInet is a good example of this convoluted arrangement.

You are not doing the relaying, nor are you delivering the message
directly to the recipients pop server ( which is also blocked by any
properly configured ISP these days ).
You are asking the “smart-host” the ISP’s SMTP machine to relay the
message on your behalf.

Does this help ?
