Windows Live Mail FAQ
The SMTP server keeps giving me this error when trying to send e-mail from my college's Outlook.com account :
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's email address. The sender's email address was XXXXXXXXXXXX@falconmail.daytonastate.edu'.
Subject 'test'
Server Error: 530
Server Response: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated
Server: 'pod51009.outlook.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): No
I looked up the proper settings directly from the outlook.com application and I have entered these manually in setting up the account in Live Mail

I was trying to set up a password reset account for my website using your SMTP server and kept getting an authentication error. After exhausting everything I could think of I changed my password to something much simpler and shorter and it started working. Here is the 25 character password I was trying to use:
(removed PII)
I'm not sure if there is a special character it didn't like or if it was the length but I could log into the account at hotmail.com just fine with it.
Can you tell me what the password restrictions are for SMTP authentication?
