You may try using either the server's IP address or mail.yourdomainname.com.

If you still aren't able to get it going, please let us know the error that is generated, this should help us identify the exact issue.

sendblaster requires authentication to be ticked, but when you try and send you get an error message which is "server replied with invalid authentication response".

If i untick the box the mail sends but does not arrive

Dear Ritchie,

sendblaster requires authentication to be ticked, but when you try and send you get an error message which is "server replied with invalid authentication response".

Many [ACLs] email service providers like AOL, Yahoo, Gmail etc do regularly check for the server's name and its rdns. Make sure that your server has a valid hostname and also the rDNS is properly set for it.
