Verify format of recipient

[Guest]

When I send a email I keep getting this message(After you verify the format
of your recipient addresses, McAfee recommends that you resend those messages
from your e-mail program.)(E-mail scanning encountered a problem: This e-mail
message cannot be sent. After you verify the format of you recipient
addresses, McAfee recommends that you resend those messages from you e-mail
program.
Command Sent: RCPT TO:

Command received: 550 Recipient Rejected: Relay not allowed) When I used
outlook express I never had problems. So how do I fix this?

I'm having the same problem, someone please help.

The solution is very simple. Get rid of McAfee.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or
Norton security programs. Those will need to be
uninstalled, not just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see

I was able to fix my problem by going into my internet accounts in my email
and then clicking on the server that I use and then clicking servers and
checking the outgoing mail server authentication box and I haven't had any
problems since.

Yes, that was the fix for your immediate problem.
However, I've found that in the long run it is better to cure
the antivirus issue first, since it can mask other problems.
