outlook does not recognize one or more recipients

Just updated to Outlook 2003, and when I type an e-mail address in the To
window, then try to send, I get an error popup saying "Outlook does not
recognize one or more recipients" and the message will not be sent unless I
add the address as a contact. I do not want to make a contact of every name
I might send mail to. In the specific instance, I wanted to send an e-mail
to be taken off a distribution list, and clicked a "Unsubscribe" link that
brought up Outlook.
How can I send a message to an address not in the Contacts or Address book?

Just enter the full email address in the To field.

Entering a complete e-mail address in the To field is what was done. The
popup appears when Send is selected.

Does the mail address resolve (i.e., become underlined) when you tab out of
the To field?
