"Host denies relay" means that the SMTP server thought that you were
trying to use it as a relay.  Many SMTP servers will accept mail sent
to foreign locations from a local user (outgoing mail), and also
accept mail coming from a foreign location sent to a local user
(incoming mail), but they will reflect mail sent from a foreign user
to another foreign user (relay).

Relays are often used by spammers.

I guess that you were a local user trying to send mail to foreign
locations.  The SMTP server looks at the "envelope from" address, see
the variable smtpmail-local-domain, to determine whether you are a
local user.

Some SMTP servers also use "SMTP AUTH" authentication where you have
to log in to the server with a user name and a password.  If you don't
have a username and password for SMTP, then that's probably not your
problem.

Does this help?
