Default Allowed recipients error

When trying to send a message, usually to someone to whom I have never
emailed previously, it fails to send. I get an error message that the
"address isn't in my list of allowed recipients".

Thanks for your help & Merry Christmas,
Jim

Default Allowed recipients error

There are quite a few reasons for that, depending on your operating system
and the mail server you are using and whether or not you are using an
antivirus/antispam program to scan email. I'd suggest you review the
possible causes at these links:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q... microsoft.com

If those are of no help, post back with more info about your operating
system, version of Outlook Express installed (check in Help/About for that
info) along with the info about whether or not you are using any antivirus
program or antispam program.

Default Allowed recipients error

Many ISPs require that you be directly connected to their service (not
via another ISP, corporate LAN, etc.) in order to send via their SMTP
mail server. (They match your IP address against those owned by the
service.) An exception is made for messages being sent to recipients of
their service. The typical error message will be "Cannot Relay" or "Not
Local" or "Not Gateway", "Not Allowed Rcpthost" or something similar. A
workaround for this is to use the SMTP mail server of the service that
you connect via, but leave your other settings the same. And for some
mail services, the SMTP Authentication may be needed. In OE this is
specified in Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, Servers, Outgoing Mail
Server, My Server Requires Authentication.
