Relaying Denied errors usually come from trying to use an email (sending,
SMTP) server that doesn't belong to the ISP you're connected to. Most ISPs
now block relaying as its a source for Spam. These articles have more info
that applies to all email clients including Outlook Express, Outlook,
Eudora, and Netscape:
