Reply #17: Hmmm... I've sent out thousands of emails (test msgs), no problem. [View All]

and the first "participant" goes back to 11-23. No problem like this ever reported. In fact the only problem ever reported is that some messages come back undeliverable (an ongoing challenge since people get hired/fired etc.).

There is no "comacat.net" in the emails sent out. "The rejected e-mail address was '[e-mail]'."

I think it is triggered by a domain name problem for you. I copied and pasted the error msg(Error Number: 0x800CCC79) into google, and here's the number one answer:

How to deal with error number 0x800CCC79

When you try to send email messages you may receive an error message that your email cannot be sent due to SMTP relay blocking. The exact error message may vary, but it will be something similar to the following. The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '<someone@some_domain.com>'. Subject: '<Test or anything>', Account: '<Test>', Server: '<remotesmtp.wyith.net>', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 <someone@some_domain.com>... Relaying Denied', Port: 25, Secure (SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

The cause of this error is due to the fact that all our SMTP servers require authentication. Please consult the "SMTP authentication settings" and "special settings for MSN, AT&T, AOL.com or Cox.com users" section in the domain manager <link next>.
