MX Mail relay



Have a POP3 user accesses via Comcast cable, able to receive, but can’t send mail using Outlook

Have following

SMTP server settings:
Allow VRFY commands: disabled
Act as SMTP relay for any host: disabled [SHOW LOCAL_DOMAINS lists hosts]
Validate sender's domain name: enabled
Allow percent-hacked addresses: disabled
CRAM-MD5 SMTP authentication: disabled
PLAIN SMTP authentication: enabled
Realtime Blackhole List check: enabled
RBL domains to check:

The user has a VMS account and the Outlook settings are correct for both incoming and outgoing servers, with user name and password.

Running MX5.4 under loadbroker on 7.3-1 thru 8.3 tried turning on debugging to see why the server was not accepting the outgoing message

%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node FREJA
"MX_SMTP_DEBUG" = "TRUE" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node NORNS
"MX_SMTP_DEBUG" = "TRUE" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node HAFNER
"MX_SMTP_DEBUG" = "TRUE" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE) %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node ODIN

to look at the log files after attempting to send a message, but I didn't find any new log files.

Any Ideas?

I suspect the relay settings aren't right, I think it needs to be enabled and rely on authenication.
