I am trying to send an email with the NOWSMS-gateway through our internal mailserver. This server requires SMTP-authentication. Right now I get the following log in MMSDEBUG.LOG(i only copied relevant data):

11:14:03:187 [9] ThreadProcessConnection: Processing Complete

11:14:08:421 [6] ThreadRouteSMTPOut: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for woert051@planet.nl


this errormessage is probably because the server needs Authentication to send the message, is this thinking correct and can i specify this SMTP-login somewhere?

Hi Dave,

Yes, there are hidden configuration settings to allow you to specify SMTP authentication.

Edit MMSC.INI, and under the [MMSC] header, you should see a "RelayHost=" setting with your SMTP server specified.

Insert the following on separate lines after this setting:

RelayHostUsername=user
RelayHostPassword=password


Substitute the appropriate username/password for your environment.
