Click OK to save the changes.


#9 Q. I keep getting a an error 550 "We do not Relay" message when I send an email message when I am out of town.

A. Relaying is what bulk emailers do when they want to send out large amounts of mail and their local provider restricts the use. A bulk emailer will try to find an 'Open" outgoing (SMTP) mail server out on the net and will use that mail server's SMTP port to relay bulk mail through.  We do not allow this to happen because it causes mail server congestion and keeps our customers from accessing their mail. 

If you travel and use either a national account such as CompuServe or AOL or use a local provider in the city you are currently in, you will need to know the name of that ISP's outgoing (SMTP) host or mail server.  You can still use the mail.ctlnet.com server name for incoming (POP3) mail but if you want to reply, you will need to reply through your local ISP's outgoing mail server.

CompuServe's outgoing mail server: smtp.site1.csi.com
