   Email Error 553

Question 

Why am I getting this "553 sorry, that domain isn't allowed to be relayed thru this MTA (#5.7.1)" error when I try to send emails?

Answer 

This error is a result of your email client (i.e. Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird, etc.) attempting to send email without first authenticating with our mail server.  In an effort to prevent some of the potential spam we require our customers to authenticate first.

If you are receiving the 553 error, don't worry, it is easy to fix.  Below I are instructions for various email clients and email client versions.  Simply choose yours and follow the included instructions.  I your email client is not included please let us know and we will add yours to our list.
