Reply to message error

[Gary]

Using Outlook 2003 and having a problem replying to
recieved messages. I get a 550 error and the message is
returned undeliverable. The addresses are valid, and I can
create a new message and send with no problem.

Thanks...

I'm not sure why replies would be a problem but new mail wouldn't, but look

for information on the 550 error.

Is the error coming from Outlook or your ISP ? For my DSL service, they have
a long list of 3 digit codes, on mine, that is a SMTP error.

A 550 error is an SMTP transport error. It does come from his ISP.

What does this error mean and how to do I correct?

A correction. It is an SMTP error, but it doesn't necessarily come from the
recipient's ISP.

A 550 error is often "relaying denied". It is a fair indication that you
aren't properly authenticating to your outbound mail (SMTP) server or are
using a domain that does not match your ISPs domain. For example, people
using SBC Yahoo! often have a domain of "sbcglobal.net", but they use one of
Yahoo's mail servers (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com) to relay their mail. Since
"sbcglobal.net" doesn't match "yahoo.com", ordinarily, Yahoo! would reject
their mail with s 550 error. However, if SBC Yahoo! users check the option
to authenticate to the outbound server, Yahoo! realizes that they are valid
members and allows the relaying of the message from the sbcglobal.net domain
through their mail servers.
