Your Server

could anybody give an explanation of this error i received when i send a message in outlook express?

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected email address was "________". Subject: 'test', Account: 'pop.isp.com', Server: 'smtp.isp.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: "550 5.7.1<recipient email address>......Relaying denied. IP Name lookup failed(203.87.182.122)", Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error:550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79.

1. Check the address. some times I get the message because I have not got the correct address typed. Make sure you have it complete as the server is saying that it can't find that address.
2. Well... It could be due to the following: 1. Incorrect recipient. Check the recipients address. Try sending to a different recipient. 2. Check your sever settings. Once you are in Outlook, click on Send/Receive button. If it does show any errors, then you have entered invalid email server settings. Correct them. 3. Some email server programs doesnt allow you to send mails to ourside your company's addresses. Check with your system administrator - whether such thing exists.
3. This problem happens because your version of Outlook Express is set up to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which yor ISP does not use. i am giving example of Tiscali ISP, you wud need to check for these with your ISP or check your account info for details. To fix this problem: Open Outlook Express, and click Tools Then click on Accounts Then click on your Tiscali connection and click Properties Then click Advanced On this screen remove the checks from the boxes This server requires a secure connection for both Outgoing mail (SMTP) and Incoming mail (POP3). Bear in mind that you should be using a dial-up connection number prefixed with 1470 and that the outgoing mail server is smtp.tiscali.co.uk You will then be able to collect your mail.
