"Server does not allow relaying" - iPhone 4 on Orange

[.Simon]

I keep getting the "The recipient "email address" was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying" error message when I'm not using Wifi ....

My SMTP server is smtp.orange.co.uk and I'm using a TalkTalk email address.

Any ideas??!

You'll need to turn on authentication to talk to the orange servers when you're not directly connected to the orange network.

Hi mate

Thanks for the advice - the authentication is set to "password" already?

If you're sure you have authentication enabled then they either don't like the return address being set to your talk talk address and are rejecting it on the basis it looks like an external relay attempt or they're blanket blocking access for relays outside their network for authenticated clients.

Both would be odd situations if you're using authentication as that should override any relaying rules.

There doesn't seem to be an answer on the net ... I'm sure it worked when I got it a few months back!
