correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining

Server Response: '550 5.1.1 relaying not allowed', Port: 25, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

can't send emails
 

The key part of the error message is "relaying not allowed."
When you got that error message, was your Internet connection coming
from Cox?

Try this:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
Enable the "My server requires authentication" option. Click OK.
Now try sending.

See:

There are a few results there, but they seem to all be for Outlook and
Exchange Server and such. It might actually be a problem with the server,
but that is only a guess based on the results from above.

Nope. No one has figured it out. How could Microsoft release a mail
program that won't send???
Seriously, if you need help, right-click on your error message, copy,
then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

Port 25 is not recommended for that mail server. Change it to port 465
with SSL. The correct settings are documented he
