Cannot send email just get a 'relaying' error messgae

Question

Hi
Apologies if this has already been asked:-
i have an iphone 4 and have upgraded to the latest version of ios.  But since then I cannot send emails from either my aol or hotmail account. I just get this error message:-
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient "*****@aol.com" was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Any ideas?  Everything was fine before hand.  I have tried deleting then reinstating my eamsil accounts both with wifi on and off and still no difference.
Please help its driving me MENTAL!!!!!!

re: not understanding instructions, it sounds like you have not enabled the Menu Bar.
In Thunderbird you will find life much easier when seeing all the toolbars.
Click on the menu icon - it has 3 bars.
Hover the mouse pointer over 'Options'
a new drop down appears, select 'Menu Bar'.
then you will see the Menu Bar above the tabs
It shows: 'File, Edit, View, Go, Message, Tools, Help.'
re: The mail server responded: 5.7.1 Missing or literal domains not allowed. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server
you will only have the one verizon smtp
I looked at the information you provided in the other question.
Server name, port, authentication and connection security look ok.
What do you have in the 'User Name' ?
Do you have the full email address or just the first part before the @ ?
The other thing to check is the firewall settings in the Actiontec Router.
But this is not really a forum for dealing with your router.
you should find the model number somewhere on your Actiontec router.
There are different models, but sometimes the settings can be very similar.
you should be able to do a google search for your model.
I located this pdf for the GT701D model: see chapter 5.
