There are times when your Internet Service Provider (ISP) will not allow email relaying (using your own server for email). They do this in an attempt to prevent people from sending spam email. Our email server does not allow spaming also but your ISP may have a rule set for all their users.

It is easy to solve this problem simply using their SMTP server to send your email and then receive your email from our or your server. Please see the graphic below:

Set-up your account as you would with the instructions provided in the upper portion of this page and then simply change the SMTP services to use the settings given by your ISP. You will need to also put in the User Pass info for the outgoing Mail Server as illustrated in the graphic.

After that things should work perfectly fine sending and receiving email at yourname@yourdomain.com.
