Outgoing mail failure Mac OS 10.6.8

I am unable to send emails.

Mac OS 10.6.8

Mail 4.6

Using laptop with 3 network dongle

"Cannot send the message using server relay.plus.net"

Diagnostics show valid connection to relay.plus.net

Details of diagnostics:

READ Jul 05 16:29:36.764 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:relay.plus.net -- port:25 -- socket:0x101270950 -- thread:0x11381ec60

Plusnet have shut down my question without providing a solution other than "set up the email on a client" with a link to a page that just relates to setting up an email address which I already have!

Before I pack up with Plusnet and find a provider that can enable me to just send emails has anybody got a sensible suggestion?

Hello,

Not a suggestion, just an observation.

If you are using a Three network dongle and you are connecting from Sky Broadband could there be a conflict between your network connection and your WiFi connection ?Huh

Since you are on a third party (Three mobile) connection you need to use authentication (Plusnet username and password) to send emails via relay.plus.net. To use authentication you must have a live Plusnet broadband account - do you have this?

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear you're unable to send mail using relay.plus.net

 

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to.

Mind PMing me a screenshot of your Mail app, showing a page similar to the below?
