427838	2006-02-06 22:46:00	Hi Team I have a problem with email communication to an overseas business forum. I originally registered using my business domain email address [me@mybusiness.co.nz] and at the time this domain was hosted on a private server. I have since shifted my domain hosting to Orcon and my email as above is now mapped to the address [myname@orcon.co.nz]. Unfortunately, this means that my email is no longer recognised by the overseas server and is rejected. It is a private and very secure site, so I assume that my mail is rejected because the server is seeing the mail source as [myname@orcon.co.nz] instead of [me@mybusiness.co.nz]. I am having a mental block on this problem, because as I see it, I can't simply reregister to fix the problem because my business email address hasn't changed and I don't want to change it either. If I delete the present entry, I will only replace it with exactly the same address [me@mybusiness.co.nz] as this is the source that I want displayed on any emails I send. If I reregister as [myname@orcon.co.nz] and send emails from my mapped address [me@mybusiness.co.nz], which address will be displayed, or does the outcome depend entirely on how the overseas site is configured? Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: P.S. At present the old server is actually still operational, so I am able to send through that for the present but it won't last much longer.	Billy T (70)

427841	2006-02-07 00:03:00	I have a redirect to my home email from the business one. It was with Orcon once but I had too many problems because they use Spamcop so dumped them.	pctek (84)
427842	2006-02-07 00:12:00	Surely the place to ask is on that forum? The people who run it should know. We can only guess.	Graham L (2)

Orcon already host my email address via mapping (redirect?) and I cannot change the address because it is my business domain name. I can't ask the other Forum because they don't have the expertise to answer the question, they are nothing to do with computing and it would be a hell of a job to even explain the problem. Fortunately Safari provided the answer I needed, which had been staring me in the face all along (I did say I was having a mental block. :() I sent an email from my domain name address to myself at another address I have at Freenet and it showed the correct sender details. I guess that's what mapping means. Thanks for the help, all i have to do now is change my details and all will be well. Cheers Billy 8-{) :thumbs:	Billy T (70)
427845	2006-02-08 07:23:00	Oh dear . :( I'm still in trouble . I had to add my base Orcon email address to the forum list of authenticated addresses I could use to send from, but with that done and verified, when I then try to send a post to the forum using my domain address via my Orcon account, I get a relaying denied message, which I assume is coming from Orcon . the actual message is below: The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server . Server Response: '550 . 7 . 7 <forummembers@yahoogroups . com> . . . Relaying denied . Proper authentication required . (Account:Business-New, SMTP Server" 'smtp . orcon . net . nz' Error number: 0x800ccc79) . Now, I am sending using my mapped business domain address via my Orcon account but this is rejected as relaying, but I can send without difficulty if I use the base account address which is myname@orcon . net . nz I can also use any combination of my old host, freenet and xtra accounts to exchange emails no problem . Is this "relaying" issue an Orcon problem that I need to talk to them about? Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused:	Billy T (70)
