The error message looks too private to reveal but the first part said... "The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address." Then it gave my email address and all the numbers that my not be good to reveal. I already suspect that a lot of spam outfits (LifeScript for one?) are selling my email address as they ignore my un-subscribe messages. They just "Unsubscribe" to verify my address I suppose.
My sister told me this morning that she didn't have to buy Outlook but we didn't have time to talk more about it. I appreciate what you're trying to do to help me. When I used Outlook Express I also used Mailwasher to screen emails to me, which was nice because they didn't land in my email until I approved them, and I could blacklist the ones I didn't ever want to hear from again. I've gone off on a tangent....sorry. I'd rather do "Outlook" than go back to Outlook Express. Now the baby's crying...oh geez.... Quote:

Actually, "Outlook" email is on my computer. It tells me to insert the 2002 CD, which I have no idea where it is.... It wants to upgrade things, so I wish I had the CD.

Other than the e-mail address, nothing in the error message should be
sensitive. What's listed there are the server name, port number and error codes. The most import part is the server response. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "obmember" wrote in message news ![]() The error message looks too private to reveal but the first part said...

"The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address." Then it gave my email address and all the numbers that my not be good to reveal. Here is a sample error from MS Outlook Express: | The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's e-mail address. | The sender's e-mail address was '. | Subject '[TEST] Just checking.', | Account: 'Forge Test', | Server: 'smtp.att.yahoo.com', | Protocol: SMTP, | Server Response: '553 From: address not verified; | see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html', | Port: 465, | Secure(SSL): Yes, | Server Error: 553, | Error Number: 0x800CCC78 I have obscured the only sensitive information in this error message. For the record, this error message was induced by using a different "From:" email address than the one I used to log in to the server. I deliberately picked an email address that I knew wasn't verified per the link in the message because I wanted a sample error message to post. Also, I edited it for readability; MSOE doesn't place the parts on separate lines, it just runs it all together on one line. I already suspect that a lot of spam outfits (LifeScript for one?) are selling my email address as they ignore my un-subscribe messages. They just "Unsubscribe" to verify my address I suppose. It is common knowledge that many spammers do not honor unsubscribe requests, treating them as verification that an email address belongs to a "spam reader". My sister told me this morning that she didn't have to buy Outlook but we didn't have time to talk more about it. Some employers provide MS Outlook as part of a package for use by employees who work from home. In such cases, employer has paid Microsoft for the license. If you aren't employed by such a company, you have to pay. Some schools offer student discounts on MS products. I appreciate what you're trying to do to help me. When I used Outlook Express I also used Mailwasher to screen emails to me, which was nice because they didn't land in my email until I approved them, and I could blacklist the ones I didn't ever want to hear from again. I've gone off on a tangent....sorry. I'd rather do "Outlook" than go back to Outlook Express. Now the baby's crying...oh geez.... Comcast has the propensity to put a port 25 block on user modems for the flimsiest of reasons. The solution is to use port 587 instead. This change requires authentication, so you will need to mark that box in the server section. Just the one labeled, "My server requires authentication". Your user ID is your Comcast user name, without the ' part. -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |
