email

[Guest]

Hi All,

Please could someone help.

All of a sudden i am not able to send emails from my personal email account.
The error message i get is "Your message did not reach some or all of the
intended recipients."

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'(e-mail address removed)' on 08/01/2005 13:03
550 relay not permitted

This is causing no end of grief. I have checked the firewall etc and all
seems to be ok.

Please can someone help.

Peter Flint.

This error message is coming from the mail server, not from OE itself. It
means that the SMTP (outgoing) mail server did not recognize you as an
authorized user and so rejected your message. Most ISPs configure their SMTP
servers to recognize only those whose IP address is on the accepted list,
meaning that you are connected directly to that ISP. If you use multiple
ISPs, you are likely to encounter this problem. The solution is to change
the SMTP server for that mail account under Tools| Accounts| <account name>
Properties| Servers.

Another possible reason for this error is anti-virus software that
configures OE to use a local proxy for the SMTP server. Since scanning
e-mail is not necessary to protect your computer, you should disable the
e-mail scan in your anti-virus product, and then re-enter the correct name
for your SMTP server

Use for example google with search text "550 relay not permitted". You will
get links like http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=275829

If the email was sent to multiple recipients, could it also
be a domain restricted by the SMTP server? It seems that
the message is not rejecting the sender, but the addressee.

That is a possibility, Jim. The domain may be blackholed.

Congratulations. You have just guaranted the mail addressee above
loads of spams, trojans, worms and viruses.

NEVER post a real e-mail address in a USENET message. There are bots
out there that cull these addresses for the purposes I just listed
above.
