why am I getting this error when sending email...

[Sandy Rolstin]

The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's
e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'.
Subject 'Hi there', Account: 'pophm.sympatico.ca', Server:
'smtphm.sympatico.ca', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '530 5.7.0 Must
issue a STARTTLS command first', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:
530, Error Number: 0x800CCC78

Sorry. This is the Microsoft Access Database newsgroup. It appears
your question is not related to that database. You are much more likely to
find someone with the answer if you post your question to a newsgroup
devoted to your subject.

My guess is it is a non-existent address used to send SPAM the old "Hi
there" is a giveaway that it is spam.

As Joseph indicated, this group is not for general Q&A. However, I will add that you can use the
following web site to determine if an e-mail address is valid or not:

http://www.searchbug.com/peoplefinder/verify-email-address.aspx

It turns out that the address you included is a valid e-mail address. Perhaps a server was
hiccupping at the time--maybe try again. If you still have problems, then perhaps contact the
technical help desk at sympatico.ca to ask them what's up.
