My website is not sending email and my web forms do not work and I am getting 550 authentication errors

Problem

Your website is not sending emails properly from your contact page, web forms or web applications or you are getting bounced emails from your website.

Proper website and email hosting server compliance requires that your servers can not be used maliciously to send emails or spam and require proper authenticated users access only.  This measure helps reduce spam and fishing scams on the Internet.  For example, if your website is currently set to use phpmail() functions or sendmail functions (without "qualifiers") then any emails sent to addresses not on your domain will fail and not leave the server.

If you are a site or mail admin you may see postmaster emails with a similar error message:

550-You do not have sufficient privileges to send mail to this address.
550-Please authenticate and try again.

Solution

To resolve this problem, the ideal solution is to use an SMTP authentication method from your website.  This method will pass your username and password to your mail server along with the email to validate you are a permitted user to use this servers resources and send emails to the world.
