Common Sence or not

Hi, I have recently bought a domain and gotten it hosted. My host offers 100 pop-3 accounts, would that normally mean it supports SMTP also? Because my host is refusing me to send emails through it. Any replies would be fine thanks, im just lost on this

99.9% of all hosts that offer POP mail services offer SMTP servers... Although I suppose it's possible for you to have a crappy one that doesn't, it's not likely.

Check your web host's manual (or FAQ) on using their SMTP server and/or the personalised SMTP server that's supposed to come with your domain... Note that most personalised SMTP servers do not allow open relaying, meaning that they will only accept outgoing e-mails that specify a return address at your domain.

If you're sending e-mail from your regular POP mail account, you still need to use your ISP's own SMTP servers in most cases.

Hope this helps!
