An unknown error was returned from the SMTP server

[Guest]

Hi,

I used windows mail and now I'm using windows live mail on windows vista
ultimate.
Until today all was fine but now I'm receiving these message:

Server: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '521
yahoo.com closing transmission channel. User is over the limit for messages
allowed to be sent in a single day.', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server
Error: 521, Error Number: 0x800CCC61


Do you know why?

What can I do?

Thank you.

Obviously this has nothing to do with what mail program you are using.
As an anti-spam measure, Yahoo has limits on how many emails you can
send per day. How many did you send?

Hi,

I sent 10 messages! I can't believe that they put a limit because from
yahoo.co.uk I can send any messages I want.

I can't send from windows mail!

Thank you.

Hi,

I sent 40 emails by now without any problem!
I don't know what's happened yesterday!

Yahoo told me that they didn't put any limit!

Strange!

How many recipients?
One message to twenty people counts as twenty.

Hi,

I sent different emails not only one and I didn't send 1 email to more than
1 address, so 10 emails in total!

Today all is fine! I can send as many as I want! I sent 40 emails by now.

Strange!

The SMTP server doesn't like something that is in your message.
You will have to contact tech support for that mail server
if you want to find out exactly what their objection is.

Webmail uses a different server, so it operates under
different rules.

Did you manage to fix this? I have the same message and can not work out what
is wrong?

Good to hear. Thanks for your feedback.
That was a really strange and misleading error message.
