550 errors mean either you're attempting to use a sending (SMTP) server that
your ISP doesn't own and operate, or you have an authentication (name,
password, "My server requires authentication") setting that's incorrect.

When I send a message I get it returned with a message from System
Administrator:
"550 #5.1.0 Address rejected"
"553 Sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts"
"Relaying prohibited"
How do I fix this?
Note that password issues are often due to a malfunctioning AntiVirus email
scanner (and they all eventually WILL malfunction). If you're running one
of these (applies to ALL vendors), disable and/or uninstall the email
scanning features and see if the problem persists.
