In order to send email through our servers you must authorize
yourself to do so. To do
this you must checking incoming email first. If you are
using Outlook or Outlook Express
you can go to Tools > Accounts... > Mail (tab at the top
of the new window > Double
click on the email account you set up > Click on Servers
(tab at the top of the new
window, or this may be under advanced properties) > put a check in the box that says "My server
requires outgoing SMTP authentication".
If this does not work it is possible that your ISP is
blocking outside email servers so that
you must use their outgoing email servers. This is done
by the ISP in an error to block
SPAM. MindSpring, Earthlink, and AT&T are known to be some ISPs which
do this. If your ISP does block outgoing email servers and you are unable to use theirs, you can use the Web Mail
feature in your cpanel to send/receive email. Just to go yoursite.com/webmail and log in with your full email address as your username.

A domain name is a Web address. The domain name is the same as an IP address (which represents a physical point on the Internet), except the domain name is letters and numbers that make sense to humans, while the IP address is a series of numbers. Thus a domain name locates an organization or other entity on the Internet. When someone types a domain name into a Web browser, the requested Web page will open. For example, the domain name www.yourdomain.com locates an Internet address for "yourdomain.com."
A domain name consists of a top-level and a second-level domain. The "com" part of the domain name generally reflects the type or purpose of the organization or entity and is called the top-level domain (TLD) name. The part of the domain name located to the left of the dot (" . ") — "yourdomain" in this case — is called the second-level domain (SLD) name. The second-level domain name — being the "readable" part of the address — refers to the organization or entity behind the Internet address. Second-level domains must be registered through an Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) accredited registrar.
