Outlook 2003: Your message did not reach some or all of the

[markgrossman]

I'm having an odd problem with outgoing email in Outlook 2003.

I just got a new laptop w/XP Pro and loaded the MS Office Standar
Suite w/SP1. I also downloaded and installed Office SP3.

I set up Outlook email w/all my POP3 settings and tested the setting
in Outlook -- all fine.

Incoming email is no problem. However for some outgoing emails, I ge
an immediate (and I mean instantaneous) bounce-back message that look
like the following:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: Test
Sent: 2/5/2010 12:13 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

(e-mail address removed) on 2/5/2010 12:13 PM
None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.

The problem seems to be specific to certain email addresses. Som
addresses I send to are fine; others get that instant bounce back. An
there seems to be no domain patterns. For example, some gmail addresse
work, others don't.

to check to make sure it's not my ISP or settings, I set up Outloo
Express w/the same settings and all emails went out flawlessly -- n
bounce back issue.

What's curious is how quickly the emails bounce back. It's not lik
it's traveling to the recipient, and being processed, and the
returned. It's like it's being immediately rejected.

I've uninstalled and re-installed Outlook 2003 and SP3 to no avail.
also did a system restore to an earlier point to see if some software
loaded might be causing a conflict, but the problem persists. I als
disbaled my anti-virus software...problem still persists. Anyone hav
any idea what the problem could be

Hi Mark

Please don't post your question more than once. I know it's frustrating
waiting, but free Newsgroups are not instantaneous. Almost every Outlook
question is resolved within a day or two.

Sorry, I didn't know I posted it more than once. Is OutlookBante
connected to MSOfficeForums or OutlookForums? If so, I didn't realiz
it. My apologies.
