    Default SMTP Authentication

    I get an error message on emails that says "not permitted to relay through this server 550 without authentication." How do I "authenticate"?

    Not familiar with that error, but would assume that part of the resolution would be to provide authentication information as available towards the bottom of admin->email

    Also not surre from the above post if you are using the setting of SMTP, or SMTP-AUTH for the protocol.

    Default Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client

    What does this mean? How do I change it?

    Admin->Configuration->Email Options
    1. Change "Email transport" to SMTPAUTH
    2. Then see the 4 or 5 "SMTP" settings further down the screen, and fill in the email servername, mailbox username and password.

    It is still not working. SO FRUSTRATED! Had already tried that, but tried it again.

    Any more suggestions?

    Lots of unknowns here.

    - Who's your hosting company?
    - Where is your email server at?
    - Where exactly are you seeing that message?
    - What exactly are you doing that triggers that message? Is it triggered by the use of a plugin? Or of a specific feature in your store? Or something else?
    - What has your hosting company told you when you informed them of the message?
    - What version of Zen Cart are you using?
    - What plugins/addons/mods/alterations are in your store that make it different from original Zen Cart distribution files?
    - What version of PHP?
