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 |

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. -- Jim Pickering, MVP/Windows Mail applications Please reply ONLY to newsgroup.

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. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "piperjim" wrote in message ...
