Email was rejected by the server because it doesn't allow relaying?

Why would my email that I am trying to send be rejected by the server because it doesn't allow relaying? What does that mean in English?

It means your email account doesn't have an authenticated SMTP server, which means it does not require a user name and password to send email with the account.


Most, if not all internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provied by the ISP being used at the time unless the SMTP server is authenticated.


Who is the email account provider?
