Authentication!

This is important because some individuals have difficulty understanding these settings. Our server requires authentication! What that means, is that our server requires a user id, and password in order to send out email. If your outlook client is not set up to use authentication you will NOT BE ABLE TO SEND OUT EMAIL!

The setting that applies is that authentication should be checked and ON (but NOT SSL authentication aka secure authentication) and it uses same info as incoming mail server (which is your full user id including name@domain.com) and your full case sensitive password. Some mail software allows you to select "Use same settings as incoming mail" which may be easiest.
