I created a new test account by
going into the site Management and clicking on "add".  I named it
Testing with the username = testing and password = testing.

In my Basic Email Servers settings I have Enable SMTP server on,
Enable SMTP Auth on and Enable POP Server on.  Nothing else.  Nothing
in the advanced tab is on either.

So then in my e-mail client, I create a new account and enter in
everything.  SMTP server is <domainname>.com, connection is "regular".
I have Perform SMTP Authentication on and I pick the "use the same
user/password for retrieval" option.

I then enter in all the POP information.  That all works because when
I send e-mail to testing (at mark) <domainname>.com it gets it.

But I STILL can't send e-mail through the server.  It just says
"relaying denied".  I'm going nuts here.  :-(
