| | Windows Mail and Contacts There have been moments for the past month or so, when I send emails out to some contacts in my Windows Mail Contact list, the email I sent out will bounce back to me (never making it to its destination). The message will come back with a .dat file attached to it and the file will read as follows: "The file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations in the Control Panel." This does not happen to all contacts that I send email out to. Just some. Can you please tell me what this can be. It has been going on for about 1 month now. I need to find way to stop it, as some of these contacts are important. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you. Charmaine Jensen |

| | Re: Windows Mail and Contacts When included with a bounce notice, the contents of the .dat file is not really significant. Any other information included with the bounce notice might be significant, such as an error number or explanation for the bounce. However, if you are receiving a file such as winmail.dat via a regular email reply (not a bounce notice), then the explanation would be different. -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "charmainejensenvoisine" <charmainejensenvoisine@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:571752E5-DE27-49A5-8B88-3BAC9E144594@xxxxxx Quote: > There have been moments for the past month or so, when I send emails out to > some contacts in my Windows Mail Contact list, the email I sent out will > bounce back to me (never making it to its destination).

| | Re: Windows Mail and Contacts Gary this is the error code of the message that I am getting: Final-Recipient: rfc822;susan.bozarzin@xxxxxx Action: failed Status: 5.5.0 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 #5.1.0 Address rejected susan.bozarzin@xxxxxx What is weird about this. Is that my email server is the same as this persons and I have difficulty sending her email and she is my sister. She has added my email address into the windows mail safelist. Also there are other contacts emails bouncing back with what you say of the dat file is irrelevant but with the same error code. These people are friends also and different servers though. Can you help me figure out what this source error code means please? Thanks so much.

| | Re: Windows Mail and Contacts Well, it's not just you or your email program. I tried that email address at one of my testing sites: http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/mail.c...ozarzin@xxxxxx and got the same failure message as you did. Either that email address really is bad, or else there is something wrong with the mail server. Sympatico has changed their mail server settings over the years. Are you using their latest settings? http://upgradecentre.sympatico.ca/FA...aspx?p=FAQ_GOE -- Gary VanderMolen [MS-MVP WLM] "charmainejensenvoisine" <charmainejensenvoisine@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7AE2E968-3447-47C3-BF48-98693E2735B5@xxxxxx Quote: > Gary this is the error code of the message that I am getting: > > Final-Recipient: rfc822;susan.bozarzin@xxxxxx > Action: failed > Status: 5.5.0 > Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 #5.1.0 Address rejected susan.bozarzin@xxxxxx > > > What is weird about this.

| | Re: Windows Mail and Contacts Hi Peter, I do not know about what the means?However the (.) between susan and bojarzin is part of her email address. When she set up her email address, this is how her server helped her set up her email address. With a (.) between her first and last name. I have seen many email addresses with a (.) between the first and last email address. hmmm.

| | Re: Windows Mail and Contacts The error message means that the mail server can't deliver email to that address, either because the address is invalid, or the recipient's mailbox is malfunctioning.
