I learned all about 'relaying' error with my mail hoster. They give this error when you try to SEND without RECEIVING mail first
(from a given IP address). It is the way to prevent illegal use of their servers by someone who RELAYS thru them. So. They, and
a lot of others (sounds like your's included), have started using this scheme. So if you get a relaying error, you need to FETCH
mail first, then send and it should be ok. Depending on the robustness of the servers relaying software, it may take hanging up
your connection (so you get a clean new IP address) then doing a Fetch and then send. Relaying has nothing at all to do with
Pmmail or your computer.
Hopefully with this explaination, assuming it applies to you, you should be able to find a good way to work around it.
