I can receive but can't send mail

There are 2 options for remedying this...

1. Change your outgoing (SMTP) server to the one provided by your ISP

This will not affect the way your mail looks or the way your mail is delivered, and when the recipient replies, it will still go to your domain as normal. The only difference is the server the mail is being sent from.

Your ISP (Telstra, Optus, iinet etc.) should have provided you with the address of their outgoing server. If they haven't, you will need to contact them to find out.

or...

2. Update the settings in your email program

The outgoing server settings can be found in the "Advanced" section when editing the properties of an email account.

You will need to open any messages stuck in your Outbox, and try to send them again.
