Fixing the error sending mail "not local sender over smtp"

19 September 2022 13:08

When sending mail via SMTP from a mailbox to Rambler, the error "not local sender over smtp" began to appear. Searching the Internet for information on this problem did not bring an answer. I had to solve the problem myself, which I did.

Description of the problem

Through the web interface, logging into the mailbox and sending a test letter were completed successfully. ---
However, when using the Mozilla Thunderbird program, a problem arose.
The server could not send mail.

The mail server replied: "not local sender over smtp".

SMTP error

I checked the settings in accordance with Help Rambler mail "How to configure Mozilla Thunderbird". It didn't help.

Solution

1) First of all, you need to delete the existing rambler.ru: mail configuration.

*Edit - Account Settings

  • Select your mail account (your_name@rambler.ru),

  • In the "Account Actions" list, activate the item "Delete account".

Allow deletion of account information (do not check the "Delete message data" checkbox!).
Click on the "Delete" button.
delete_account
A message indicating successful deletion will appear.

2)Add rambler mail account,

in the same menu *Edit - Account Settings select from the list "Add a mail account"

3)Enter your name and your email address, like your_name@rambler.ru

after pressing the "Continue" the screen will jerk down and a green banner will appear "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database".
