Student email error (1 Viewer)

[JRock]

Hey guys.

So I am trying to set up my own email client to be able to successfully run my USYD email, without having to deal with their web-based application.

For the most part, I have got it working.

I can receive emails to my client no problem:
pop3 = outlook.com port = 995

Sending emails is another thing. And a strange one.

This is my current setting:
smtp = smtp.usyd.com.au port = 25

Using that, I can send emails to almost any email address... but I cannot send to any other student.

More specifically, I cannot send to anyone with a *@uni.sydney.edu.au email address. (relay access denied)

I can send to tutors and lecturers no problem, but they have @sydney.edu.au.

Also, I have tried using other smtp settings, but when I change them to a different server, the account will not accept my unikey/password.

Does anyone understand what exactly the problem is?

Cheers.

I would suggest using imap on your client rather than pop/smtp protocol.

If at a later stage you need to use web based reader (eg while you are at uni using their computer) or use a smart phone, it will synch multiple clients much beter.
