E-mail (Claws) will receive but not send. [solved]

Sun Feb 19, 2017 4:12 pm

I am setting up a Pi 3 and have met only one problem. Claws receives incoming mail, but will not send. The settings are roughly the same as with Thunderbird on my other machine (which works).
I get an error message:

** error occurred on SMTP session
*** error occurred while sending the message
530 Authorisation required for RFC4409/msa

I do not know what this means. Can anyone please help?

Who owns your mail server? Are you passing the right credentials?

Hi Dougie
Many thanks. I have found a setting that needed correcting, and the mail is now flowing, both ways.
