550 You must SMTP Authenticate ...Hi,
Over the past week, I've been receiving an error message when sending out some emails using Microsoft Outlook 2002 SP3: 550 You must SMTP Authenticate before sending to <email address> My IPS is Roadrunner and I have Norton Internet Security 2005. I've experimented with the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication" setting and the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and the problem does not get resolved. Can anyone help me understand why? Thanks, George -- mind***@minding.org Hi,
There are many ways of authentication, you should find information of how to authenticate at the providers web site. Eventually you need to log on using ssl or just do pop before smtp (get mails first, then send). Eventually you just have the wrong password.

What you're suggesting would require the problem to exist for every message sent. It is not an "all the time" problem. The problem happens with some messages/addresses and not with others. So it's not a password problem. Since Outlook pops and smtps in the same order all the time, this is not the problem. My suspicion is that the error message is misleading and it's not actually an authentication problem. Perhaps Norton Internet Security, except I've disabled NIS and the problem persists. What else might it be?

You usually have to uninstall the product and reinstall without that feature in order to truly disable it. -- Brian Tillman Then this is what I shall do and see if NIS is the cause. Thanks.

I'll
call my ISP again and try to recall what might have changed on my system recently. It has to be one or the other since I've been emailing with MS Outlook successfully forever and anon. Any other ideas, however, are welcome. Thanks.
