Don't cross post. You can't just go ahead and post your question on all sites. The question should go to [SO], so please ask there. You should also format your code properly. — slhck, Feb 21 '13 at 13:24

A 5.7.1 message indicates that a SMTP relay server can't or won't forward your traffic. the most common cause is bad authentication (are your username and password right?). unfourtunately, the other causes for this error are numerous and almost all are on the server end (relaying disabled globally, relaying not permitted for specific user, relaying from sending network not permitted, etc).

The folks from Mozilla explain it pretty well: http://kb.mozillazine.org/5.7.1_Unable_to_relay

in your case, simply based on the message it looks like your SMTP server is employing some form of leak protection software that is blanket denying SMTP relaying, assuming that it is someone trying to get around other established policies/protections. That you got a 5.7.1 at all means that your code was fine (other than perhaps authentication), and the issue is server configuration.

the real problem here is the host/server you are relaying through, so it makes sense that it might have worked elsewhere and doesn't work now. unfortunately, your options (unless you fat-fingered the uname, passwd, or hostname) are to either pick a differant server to relay through, or to contact whoever runs the server in question and ask for support from them. there is no generic solution to the issue, since its all about how the host chooses to run their server. – Frank Thomas Feb 21 '13 at 13:26
