Cannot send email TO any address outside my domain

[Phill]

I WOULD fill out a ticket on this issue if Cerberus would recognize me.... regardless of how many times I enter my HSphere login/password, Cerberus simply tells me that I am not logged in. Anyway ...

I have a problem with sending email to any address not within my domain (phillabuster . org)

I have a forum set up on the domain and 'activation' emails sent to any address NOT on my domain(ie: phill@phillabuster.org) are ever received.

By a similar token, I can use Outlook to receive mail sent TO phill@phillabuster.org, but cannot send email to an address NOT on the phillabuster domain.
For example: phill @ phillabuster .org CAN send mail to patt i@ phillabuster .org and it works fine, but phill@phillabuster.org CANNOT send mail to phill.terry@att.net.
The aforementioned 'forum' will be able to send it's activation email to phill@ phillabuster. org but CANNOT send mail to phill. terry @att.net.

Any help you can offer would be great .. this is driving me crazy.

Thanks,

Phill

Do you have SMTP authentication enabled?

 

[Phill]

Not to my knowledge ... ... although "SPF" was enabled (musta been a default thing, as I don't recall enabling it). I disabled it and noticed no difference.

 

[tanmaya]

Please enable it.

 

[Phill]

Please enable it.

Id that the "SPF" thing? If so, it was .. if not, how do I enable it?

I did this .. it made no difference. IF this had somehow worked, how would the forum have been effected (since it can't send mil outside my own domain, also)?

What is the error you see in Outlook when you try to send this mail?

You are suppose to use SMTP authentication to have consistent mailing when using 'mail.your-domain.com' as SMTP server.

..ok .. thanks ...

I get no error ... Outlook sends the mail ... it just 'disappears' from there ...

I'm sending it FROM: phill@phillabuster.org TO: phill.terry@att.net .. it never gets to the att.net account. I have attempted sending mail to other accounts, as well ... same results(mail never arrives). If I send the mail to
an account @phillabuster.org, it gets sent to the recipient's account.
