Question: Why can't I send sms? It gives me en
error message. For SMS Delivery setup I'm using Web mail with SMTP setting.
Answer: Please be aware that some ISP's (Internet Service Providers) do not allow
their customers to send E-mail out using a third party SMTP server and require their
customers to use their own ISP's SMTP servers. It may be a reason why you can’t send
sms. If your ISP doesn't allow you to send E-mail out using a third party SMTP server, we
recommend that you contact them directly to verify their SMTP server settings. In that case you need to configure SMS Delivery
Setup in FastSMS III with your ISP's SMTP setting.
Question: Why am I getting some error messages
while I try to send SMS?
Answer: If you are receiving errors when attempting to send SMS, you should check
your mail server configuration settings. The Mail SMTP server requires proper
authentication.

applications that may use it simultaneously.
Question: I got the following error " Socket
Error # 10060 ". What does this mean?
Answer: Some ISP blocks their users using any SMTP server other than their own. In
that case you have to use ISP's SMTP server in SMS Delivery set up.
Question: During sending message I am getting an
error message as 530 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed. What might be my problem?
Answer:
1.The sender of the message does not have the privileges required to complete delivery.

you to relay.
3. The recipient might have mailbox delivery restrictions enabled.

Answer: Yahoo! Mail no longer provides free POP3 Access or Auto Mail Forwarding to
Yahoo! Delivers subscribers. Currently, mail forwarding (SMTP) is not available for all
international Yahoo! Mail accounts.
Free Hotmail account doesn’t support SMTP protocol, only HTTP.
Try to use another account with SMTP settings in SMS Delivery setup.

provider in the list. I asked our mobile service provider for their mail gateway address
but they say "Sorry I don't know" or "Sorry I can not tell this to
you". Please advice me what to do?

Question: What is Use mail login input for?
Answer: Use mail login input is used when outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) of your
e-mail account demands authorization for delivery. In this case you need to enter your
e-mail login in that field. The password will be requested at the moment of sending your
text message. If you use SMTP server, that does not require authorization, leave this
field blank.
