SMTP no permissions to send as this sender - with own Mail adress

When I try to send a message via smtp, the error message "550 5.7.60 SMTP Client does not have permissions to send as this sender" appears.
If I give myself a send as permission on my own Mailbox, the whole thing works.
I tried to connect via telnet and found that the authentication is NTML.
The Receive connector is configured correct.
I use an Exchange Server 2019.

Using domain mail server for sendmail

The piece of php script is:
$sendmail=1;
$sendmail_path='/path/to/sendmail';
$smtp_server='localhost';
My webhost want me to use my domain smtp mail server mail.xxxxx.net instead of "localhost" otherwise sendmail is blocked.
I don't know how to reset the script.
Please help me
Thanks
One of the settings that you tried
<?php
$smtp_server='mail.telugugreetings.net';
is actually a correct setting, as indicated by its error message:
Additional errors: 550 Access denied - Invalid HELO name (See RFC2821 4.1.1.1)
This is an SMTP error, so you have successfully connected to your SMTP server. This error indicates a completely different problem:
4.1.1.1 Extended HELLO (EHLO) or HELLO (HELO)
These commands are used to identify the SMTP client to the SMTP server. The argument field contains the fully-qualified domain name of the SMTP client if one is available. In situations in which the SMTP client system does not have a meaningful domain name (e.g., when its address is dynamically allocated and no reverse mapping record is available), the client SHOULD send an address literal (see section 4.1.3), optionally followed by information that will help to identify the client system. y The SMTP server identifies itself to the SMTP client in the connection greeting reply and in the response to this command.
Make sure that you are setting the "From" field properly. It should probably be something ending in #telugugreetings.net. Without knowing more about your mail server and your PHP code, including any libraries you may be using to send mail, I can't be more specific.
You might need to contact your hosting provider again to ask about this new error message.
The PHP manual's mail() Runtime configuration says:
Used under Windows only: host name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent with the mail() function.
Click Here for PHP Mail Runtime configuration
Is this on you local Windows machine?
Are you hosting on a Windows machine?
If not Windows the SMTP directive is ignored.
If you have a Windows machine:
The PHP setting for SMPT is a "PHP_INI_ALL, Entry can be set anywhere"
Which mean this directive can be set Runtime, in:
php.ini, .htaccess, httpd.conf or .user.ini
Get you SMPT Configurations Setting:
echo ini_get('SMTP');
To Set you SMTP
ini_set ('SMTP', $SMPTServer)
Where $SMPTServer is the host name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent.

SQL Server 2008 database mail using YANDEX

I am trying to send mail with my yandex mail account on database mail. Actually it was working for a long time. Last 1 month I cannot send mail with my yandex account. Always it gives that error message,
Error,16492,The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 10 (2014-11-08T17:20:25). Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (time out ).
The mail account works with Microsoft Outlook, but it does not work with database mail. I am also using SSL secure connection. Which is in the configuration of database mail account?
Thank you.
It's a late response but it is a true solution.
With Yandex kindly use SSL port number 587 instead of 465.
Screenshot Yandex IMAP settings
Also add IMAP settings, SMTP does not work without it

Exchange SQL Server 2008 Database Mail issue

In my web application I have created a mail sender class and set the configurations of web.config file like this:
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="PickupDirectoryFromIis">
<network host="smtp.domain.com"
port="587"
userName="mail#domain.com"
password="password"/>
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
This is sending email. But SQL Server database mail can not send mail with the same account info.
Only one difference is PickupDirectoryFromIis .
Is there any setting on exchange server?
In the SQL Server Logs the errors are following.
Message
The mail could not be sent to the recipients because of the mail
server failure. (Sending Mail using Account 2 (2012-09-30T16:55:04).
Exception Message: Cannot send mails to mail server. (The SMTP server
requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The
server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated).
Looks like this is a Authentication issue or port no issue.
Authentication Issue:
—————————-
Please make sure you have put the information as explained below:
Server name: smtp.gmail.com ( this is really important)
port no: 587 ( on many website this is given as 465 which is wrong, use 587 )
Check : This server requires a secure connection
Check Basic Authentication
username: youremailid#gmail.com ( should have gmail.com)
password: XXXXXXXXXXXXX
confirm password: confirm your password
Port No Issue:
——————–
Make sure port 587 is opened in your machine if you are following above example. If you are using any other port number (usually its port 25) to set up database mail in your office, make sure you speak with your security team and ask them to unblock port 25. Once they unblock port 25, your databasemail will work.
Network Connectivity:
—————————–
Also check network connectivity from your machine, if you can connect to internet from your machine on which you are testing your database mail. To test, do the following
Start- Run- type cmd – Hit Enter
Type ping gmail.com -t and then hit enter.
If output displays as Request timed out, it actually means there is network connectivity problem. Otherwise, your network connectivity is good.

Connecting to smtp.gmail.com via command line

I am in the process of writing an application that sends mail via an valid GMail user ID and password.
I just wanted to simulate the SMTP connection on my Windows XP command line, and when I telnet smtp.gmail.com at 465 port - I don't see any thing. A blank command window with title Telnet smtp.gmail.com opens with cursor. When I type in EHLO or usual SMTP handshake commands, the prompt just closes.
I am unable to figure out whats going wrong and where. I tried connecting to 587, it does not connect in telnet at all. Could anyone please clarify if I am doing something wrong?
Using Linux or OSx, do what Sorin recommended but use port 465 instead. 25 is the generic SMTP port, but not what GMail uses. Also, I don't believe you want to use -starttls smtp
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:465
You should get lots of information on the SSL session and the response:
220 mx.google.com ...
Type in
HELO smtp.gmail.com
and you'll receive:
250 mx.google.com at your service
From there it is not quite as straightforward as just sending SMTP messages because Gmail has protections in place to ensure you only send emails appearing to be from accounts that actually belong to you. Instead of typing in "Helo", use "Ehlo". I don't know much about SMTP so I cannot explain the difference, and don't have time to research much. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can explain.
Then, type "auth login" and you will receive the following:
334 VXNlcm5hbWU6
This is essentially the word "Username" encoded in Base 64. Using a Base 64 encoder such as this one, encode your user name and enter it. Do the same for your password, which is requested next. You should see:
235 2.7.0 Accepted
And that's it, you're logged in.
There is one more oddity to overcome if you're using OSx or Linux terminals. Just pressing the "ENTER" key does not apparently result in a CRLF which SMTP needs to end a message. You have to use "CTRL+V+ENTER". So, this should look like the following:
^M
.^M
250 2.0.0 OK
For OSX' terminal:
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:25 -starttls smtp
Start session from terminal:
openssl s_client -connect smtp.gmail.com:25 -starttls smtp
The last line of the response should be "250 SMTPUTF8"
Initiate login
auth login
This should return "334 VXNlcm5hbWU6".
Type username
Type your username in base64 encoding (eg. echo -n 'your-username' | base64)
This should return "334 UGFzc3dvcmQ6"
Type password
Type your password in base64 encoding (eg. echo -n 'your-password' | base64)
Success
You should see "235 2.7.0 Accepted" and you're are successfully logged in
Gmail require SMTP communication with their server to be encrypted. Although you're opening up a connection to Gmail's server on port 465, unfortunately you won't be able to communicate with it in plaintext as Gmail require you to use STARTTLS/SSL encryption for the connection.
Jadaaih, you can connect send SMTP through CURL - link to Curl Developer Community.
This is Curl Email Client source.
Check this post in lifehacker : Geek to Live: Back up Gmail with fetchmail . It uses a command line program. Check and see if it helps. BTW why are you using command line when there are many other nice alternatives?
tcp/465 was initially intended for establishing the SSL(and newer TLS) layer first, and inside doing cleartext or plain old protocols (smtp here)
tcp/587 was intended as a replacement to default tcp/25 port initially when spammers and mass mailing attacks commenced like a decade or more ago, but also during those infamous AOL ages, when some funny ISP had some blocks on default ports outbound (such as that tcp/25) for denying their own customers (AOL) to mass-send emails/spam back then, but AOL-customers needing to use alternative mail-accounts and mail-providers still needed to send their mails from AOL-internet connections, so they could still connect to tcp/587 and do simple smtp on it back then.
The deal with the STARTTLS way to do smtp is to use the two well known originally plain-text tcp/25 and tcp/587 ports, and only when the initial clear-text connect suceeded, to then START the TLS layer (thus STARTTLS) from there on, having a secured connection from that point onwards.
As for debugging these kind of things maybe via command-line tools, for example for windows there is the historical blat command line mailer (smtp), which up till today cant do TLS (STARTTLS) so it can only use plain-text smtp to send its mails.

Then there are numerous projects freeware and open source software that have more capabilities and features, such as
smtp client: mailsend # googlecode

smtp client: msmtp # sourceforge (related to mpop below)

How to connect to "Google SMTP mail server" from the command line?
1] SSL connect command
openssl s_client -connect {{server_name}}:{{server_port}} -crlf -quiet -starttls smtp
with variables

server_port: 587
user_name__hash: echo -n '{{user_name}}' | base64
user_password__hash: echo -n '{{user_password}}' | base64
2] SMTP mail server commands - every command in one line
auth login
{{user_name__hash}}
{{user_password__hash}}
helo {{server_name}}
mail from: <{{message_from}}>
rcpt to: <{{message_to}}>
DATA
from: <{{message_from}}>

quit
Try this:
telnet smtp.gmail.com 587
gmail uses an encrypted connection. So, even after you establish a connection, you wont be able to send any email. The encryption is a little complex to manage. Try using openssl instead.
