Afrihost Email issues

[v3ngful]

Good evening,

I decided to get an afrihost email, but im having issues sending emails to certain address's. for example @mweb.co.za emails i get undeliverable error, also on the message it says "503 valid RCPT command must precede DATA"

anyone have any ideas ? not using SSL as its giving problems when trying to set it up.

Word of advice: use a 3rd party service, like Microsoft or google for email. That way your not tied to a provider, and, let's be honest - how reliable is afrihost going to be?

^ Good advice.

Not sure why you are experiencing this only with certain recipients, but try enabling the setting to authenticate SMTP connections. In your email client, this should normally be somewhere around the same section where you specified your POP3 server credentials and should be called something like "outgoing mail server requires authentication" IIRC.
