If it worked before and does not work now, then something changed. Did
you install any new programs? Did you change something on the server? Do
you control the server? Does the server require SMTP-AUTH
(authentication) for you to send mail?

Can you provide any log messages (see /var/log/messages and
/var/log/maillog on the server) to show what happens during these
failures? Can you provide detailed info on what configuration you are
giving the client program? You said "the configuration I set up were
[sic] the same as that which worked before" but you did not say WHAT
THAT CONFIGURATION IS.

You need, you must, you *HAVE TO* provide details. No one can guess at
your situation remotely. At the very least, show us *everything* that
you enter as your mail client configuration. You are asked for username
and you enter "joe@xxxxxxxx". You are asked for a mail server and you
enter "mail.mail.com." See what I mean?

If you do not provide information, it is impossible to help you.
Impossible. Not difficult. That's like saying "my car worked yesterday
and does not work today. Why?" No way of knowing.

Cheers,
