How to relay all local mail through external SMTP relay?

How do I stop getting '550 relay not permitted' in Perl?

• I've copied a small program from the internet so I can send emails using Perl, but after changing the email address and smtp I keep getting 'RCPT TO: error (550 relay not permitted)' What does this mean and how do I stop this error? This is the code I have #!/usr/local/bin/perl use Mail::Sendmail; unshift @{$Mail::Sendmail::mailcfg{'smtp'}} , 'mail.MyServer.com'; %mail = ( To => '[email protected]', From => '[email protected]', Message => "Test" ); sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error; print "OK. Log says:\n", $Mail::Sendmail::log; Thanks for your help. Tim

• Answer:

  check your mail server and make sure it allows relaying. If you dont have access to mail server then you need to talk to the server admin.
