Cant send email

[ysm79]

Identity: ysm79@homeownersleague.com (Default Identity)
To: me@homeownersleague.com
Subject & body: test

Sorry, I mistakenly closed my previous thread, problem not solved yet. So I posted a new one here.

To Admin: You did something and said "It should be fixed" but I still get the same error, see my hint below.



Still get the error:

When I use horde web access client: I got the error:

There was an error sending your message: Failed to send data [SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 503, response: All RCPT commands were rejected with this error: Sender verify failed Valid RCPT command must precede DATA)]

When I use SqurrielMail, I got the following messenger:

Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
Server replied: 550 Verification failed for <ysm79@homeownersleague.com>
No Such User Here
Sender verify failed

Note I am using my own domain (from Yahoo), the only thing I did was to set the name servers. I didn't set any cname or mx records there. Is this error because of I am missing anything there. -- Just a clue for you to fix the issue

Thanks. Waiting for reply.

You guys are awesome!

Go into the Email account section of your cPanel and create an account for ysm79 then try it again.

Hi thank you very much for your quick reply.

I changed my from address to me@homeownersleague.com, it worked!

However, when I set up a email client manually, I did the following and it didn't work

My incoming mail server is a POP3 server.
Incoming server: mail.homeownersleague.com Port: 110
(Uncheck) This server requires a secure connection (SSL)
Log on using Clear text authentication
Login ID (if different from email address):
me
Outgoing Server Information
Outgoing server: mail.homeownersleague.com Port: 25
(uncheck) This server require a secure connection (SSL)
(check) My outgoing server requires authentication

When I send an email using my client, I got a pop up:

Please enter your user name and password for the following server:
Server: mail.homeownersleague.com
UserName: me
Password: (my password set for email account me@homeownersleague.com)

Is the above account incorrect? (Should it be my cPanal account)

Please try if you can fix this issue for me

Thanks again.
Edit:
By the way,

What's my SMTP's username and password (Is that my cPanel's credential or my me@homeownersleague.com credential, or something else)

Thanks.

For the popup, use the WHOLE email address as the user name.

So, me@homeownersleague.com

Still not working, got the following error:

The host 'mail.homeownersleague.com ' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly.

Subject 'test at 3:12'
Server: 'mail.homeownersleague.com '
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0D
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 25
Secure(SSL): No
Socket Error: 11001

Besides, my phpBB3's sendEmail feature is not working as well, the following is my smtp settings in phpBB:

User SMTP server for email: Yes
SMTP server address: mail.homeownersleague.com
SMTP server port: 25
Authentication method for SMTP: Plain
SMTP username: me@homeownersleague.com
SMTP password: (my password for the me@.. email account)

Where I am wrong. Thanks
P.S. Thank you for your quick support.
Edit:
I found the answers -> do NOT set to use SMTP server in phpBB. Use the mail function. Bingo.
