Sys Admin stops all "503 Valid RCPT TO <recipient> must precede DA

[Guest]

"503 Valid RCPT TO <recipient> must precede DATA" ;
With MS Outlook 2003, This error is recieved from administrator immediately
on sending attempts, the message is not sent to the recipient. I have tried
it in outlook express and they send ok but I get this error message for all
recipients I try in MS Outlook 2003;

Its melting my head, why does MS outlook think all my recipients are not
valid??
I want to use outlook not express.
HELP please

You may need to authenticate to your outgoing server - you can set that up
on the "Outgoing server" tab of your account. If that doesn't work, could
you turn on diagnostic logging (see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q300479) and post
the OPMLog.log file after trying to send?

Assuming that you have applied Office/Outlook 2003 SP1, I would turn on
diagnostic logging
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;300479&sd=RMVP) and
then review the OPMLog file to see what is transpiring during the sending of
a message.

you fixed it. outgoing server needed to relate to the broadband provider at
this home pc not work host/provider, even though email address is my work
address.
