I can not send out e-mails. Why?
  • The Outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication. If you are using Outlook Express you should check the box 'My server requires authentication'. In Eudora it is 'Authentication allowed'.

  • Your SMTP (outgoing mail server) could be blocked. Here is how to test it:
    1. Go to 'Start' -> 'Run' -> type: cmd
    2. When the Command prompt appears type: telnet mail.dedicatedusa.com . 25
    3. Wait a few seconds. You must see the following: '220 mail.dedicatedusa.com ESMTP'. This will be OK.
    4. If you do not see this message, your SMTP is being blocked. In this case try the following:
    - If you are behind a firewall, we may be unable to authenticate you. If you have a personal firewall, try lowering the security.
    - Call your ISP and ask if they block people sending through remote SMTP's. Some are doing that, though relatively few.
    - You can use your ISP's SMTP server. In your email client, put the SMTP server that you use to send out your ISP email, and your email will still appear with your domain name. Also see the error messages explanations.


  • My password does not work. What am I to do?
  • Go to your hosting account cPanel and change the mailbox password. Refer to 'Email Addresses (Aliases) and Mailboxes' section for more information on how to do that.
  • Make sure that you're logging in with a lowercase user id and a case sensitive password.
  • Open a new problem ticket to contact the support if all else fails.


  • Error: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'youraccount', Server: 'www.yourdomain.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E
    You are on a an ISP (such as Earthlink or Mindspring) that blocks their users using any SMTP server other than their own. Your solution is as follows:
  • To set up Earthlink, Mindspring, or your ISP's SMTP servers for your outgoing email you must click on your account settings in the email client you are using (Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape etc.)
  • In the SMTP (outgoing mail server) field you will enter smtp.earthlink.net (or whatever your dial up or direct access ISP's SMTP server is) as your SMTP server. You must then enter your Earthlink (or your ISP's) username and password for that mail server.
  • In Outlook Express it is at the bottom of that same tab. You must uncheck 'My server requires authentication' and click on 'settings' to enter your Earthlink (or your ISP's) username and password.

    Your email will still be from your own domain name, the only difference is in the way it is routed throughout the Internet. Instead of being sent through our servers it is processed through Earthlink (or your ISP's) servers. This allows Earthlink (or your ISP) to monitor its users.


  • Outlook: The host 'yourdomain.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'yourdomain.com', Server: 'yourdomain.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0
