asked on

rejected email address (Outlook Express 6) when attempting to add an account name.

I use NTL broadband and already have 3 mail accounts with different account titles but all using the same email address.

I am trying to set up 2 new mail accounts using different email addresses.

I have followed the wizard instructions and am able to use these 2 new accounts to send emails to my original email address.  I cannot however send to either of these 2 addresses.

The error message received includes the following

"message could not be sent...... one of the recipients was rejected by the server....rejected email address was.... 550 invalid recipient"

No matter how I alter the properties for the General, Servers and Connection tabs, I am unable to send emails to these 2 addresses.

How do I get these addresses accepted?

Hi,
Please try this from http://www.yoweb.co.za/?page=18 and http://www.stg4me.com/Support/Email/email6.htm :
-Under the properties for your account, under the server tab (Tools Menu > Accounts > Mail Tab > Select Mail Account > Properties > Server Tab). Make sure you have "My server requires authentication" checked.

Also following may help:

Thanks for all the suggestions but none have solved the problem. I use the free version of Zone Alarm and it has been suggested that this might be the cause of the problem.

If so, I do not know how to overcome it
