This is a VERY FAQ.
googling the error message will tell you what it means. Searching the archives> will give you some solutions.
Or you can wait for Manuel Lemos' reply :)
for some reason I find that very funny :)
I also find it funny that you found it funny because in the end the original poster only got an useful reply from me! ;-)
um. you may want to reread the whole thread.
If you even paid attention to Jason's message a simple google search for:
smtp 550 5.7.1 unable to rely for
returns a bunch more information than spam.
FYI, that is a common error message that SMTP servers return when they only allow relaying messages to remote addresses after prior authentication. This way the SMTP servers do not leave relaying opened to unauthorized users. SMTP servers opened to anybody for relaying usually end in a black list. Requiring authentication is one common solution to not leave relaying opened.
If you really knew how SMTP servers work, you would have avoided making a fool of yourself with yet another personal attack against somebody that is offering a practical solution that solves the original poster problem.
