Q. I can receive mail, but I cannot send it. Can you tell me what's wrong?

A. This problem has a number of common causes. Generally, unless you've received an announcement from us that mail isn't working properly at the time you're having difficulty, chances are it is one of those common issues.

ISPs often block the outgoing mail port in an effort to force their users to use their own email servers. They sometimes do this without warning and sometimes even intermittently.

If your ISP isn't the cause of your problem sending, you may not have authentication turned on in your email client. Not having authentication turned on can cause email to work fine one day and suddenly stop working the next. If you turn on authentication, you should see the problem disappear.

If neither of these solutions works for you, please open a ticket and we will gladly take a look at the problem.

Impeccable Service!
03-12-2009
I decided to go with a certain hosting company to save a few bucks. BIG mistake! Then I decided to switch to HostingXchange. For just pennies a day more money, I not only get a great deal on server space, but absolutely IMPECCABLE service! For someone who's not very familiar with servers, these few cents are well-spent. They have never failed to resolve an issue (often my own fault!) in a very reasonable amount of time. HostingXchange has my business for as long as they want it!
