That message is from the server saying that you are not authorized to send
through that server.
What ISP are you connected to?
Are you sure that your SMTP server(s) are properly set up> Correct ports
and authentication?

isp is comcast, and i got all the info to set it up straight from them, so to
the best of my knowledge it is set up right.

 

[Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM]

Make sure that "My server requires authentication" is checked and that the
outgoing (SMTP) port is 587.

Looks like a delivery failure to me, not a sending failure.
Is (e-mail address removed) the intended recipient? If so, are you
sure that address is valid? Do you get similar delivery failure notices
when sending to other recipients?

i get this same message when i send to anyone

Let me get this straight, it always responds with the same error
message about (e-mail address removed), regardless of whom
the message is addressed to? That's not your return address,
is it?

 

[Guest]

im sorry what i meant was that it always gives me that error message but with
the different addresses that i send it to. pam_thomas.... is just one of the
addresses i have tried to send e-mail to.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

For what it's worth, when I attempt to send mail to pam_thomas
it also fails, with the same error message you got.
Obviously I can't test all the other send failures you've
encountered. It's very odd, especially the web mail failures.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

thats ok. no one seems to be able to either, i even took it to geek squad and
they all said it was the weirdest thing theyve ever seen. no one i have
talked to has ever heard of anything like this, and has no idea how to fix it.
