reply and forward mail problems

[John]

I'm a new Vista and Outlook 2007 user and when I try to forward or reply to
an email I frequently get an error "
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for (e-mail address removed)

If you're connecting to an Exchange server (usually in a business
environment), you should report this to your Exchange admin. Sometimes the
fix is as simple as stopping and starting the virtual SMTP server.
If you're connecting to an ISP using POP3, it may be that you need to check
the boxes that say authentication is required for your SMTP server and
provide your password, or you may need to provide your email address instead
of your username or vice versa.

You are trying to send through another smtp server from a foreign account. You need to authenticate.
