Hello, all
 I am using mew with emacs21.3 on winxp. Mew can receive my
mails well, but when I want to send a mail, these errors occurs:

***********************************************************
Connecting to the SMTP server...done
Sending in background...
1.wrk has been queued to +queue/1 (553 host denies relay (eyou mta)
)
(New file)
Wrote f:/EmacsConf/Mail/draft/1
Draft is prepared
Auto-saving...done
Really send this message? (y or n) 
Wrote f:/EmacsConf/Mail/draft/1
Making a message...done
Connecting to the SMTP server...done
Sending in background...
2.wrk has been queued to +queue/2 (553 host denies relay (eyou mta)
)
Making completion list... [2 times]
(New file)
Wrote f:/EmacsConf/Mail/draft/1
*******************************************

This is a part of the error messages. I do not know what had happened, 
may be the smtp authentication? how to set it?

"Host denies relay" means that the SMTP server thought that you were
trying to use it as a relay.  Many SMTP servers will accept mail sent
to foreign locations from a local user (outgoing mail), and also
accept mail coming from a foreign location sent to a local user
(incoming mail), but they will reflect mail sent from a foreign user
to another foreign user (relay).

Relays are often used by spammers.

I guess that you were a local user trying to send mail to foreign
locations.  The SMTP server looks at the "envelope from" address, see
the variable smtpmail-local-domain, to determine whether you are a
local user.

Some SMTP servers also use "SMTP AUTH" authentication where you have
to log in to the server with a user name and a password.  If you don't
have a username and password for SMTP, then that's probably not your
problem.

Does this help?
