But, if you have verified that the different aforementioned situations are not what caused the SMTP email errors then you have to access the email client setting and take a look if the correct SMTP servers were used. Your domain is typically the right SMTP server. Several ISPs would require you to make use of the SMTP server. When you are still having a problem with it, then you have to check the policy with the ISP technical support.
Another SMTP email error that you will encounter is the message that says “mailbox full” or “email quota exceeded” after sending an email. This is not the main problem. It just means that the inbox of the addressee has exceeded the quota or is already full.
