Resolution/Validation
Validate that the correct ISP mail
server name has been entered in
the SMTP Host Name field.
Verify that you can access the ISP
mail server from within Microsoft
Outlook Express and that all
settings are correct.
Verify that the device is using the
correct E-mail address in the
From: field. The E-mail address
must match what the ISP's mail
server is expecting.
Check with your ISP to determine
if this is a requirement. If so,
enable SMTP authentication for
the multifunction device via
CentreWare Internet Services.
Check with your ISP to determine
if this is the problem. Ask if they
can accept mail on another port
number. If so, change the SMTP
port number for the multifunction
device via CentreWare Internet
Services.
Check with your ISP to determine
if this is a requirement. If so, login
to the Microsoft Outlook Express
account, and then try sending the
E-mail. If this is successful, you
can set Outlook Express to check
E-mail every 5 or 10 minutes for
the multifunction device's E-mail
account.
