I receive a '550 relay not permitted' error message; how do I enable SMTP Authentication for my email client?

The same username and password used to retrieve your mail from the mailserver on which your domain is setup at BreedeNet, will apply for outgoing mail authentication.  A typical error when not authenticating successfully with our mailserver is the '550 relay not permitted' error message from within your email client.  It indicates that you are not authenticating to your SMTP server.

In order to enable SMTP authentication, please follow these steps within your email client:
