    Trouble sending e-mail

    I can receive but cannot send e-mail. Here is the error message that I get.
    I've checked all of my settings and they appear to be correct.
    The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
    correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
    problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
    "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
    the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

    The rejected e-mail address was 'rebecca_gripp@xxxxxx'. Subject 'test',
    Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP,
    Server Response: '550 5.1.1 <rebecca_gripp@xxxxxx> recipient invalid
    domain', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number:
    0x800CCC79

    Look at that email address. Many email servers are unable to handle
    addresses
    with a space inside the address. Also, that address is missing at least one
    period
    somewhere after the @ sign, probably just before com.

    Re: Trouble sending e-mail

    As the error message says, the domain portion of that email address
    is not valid. It should be rebecca_gripp@xxxxxx.
    Note the required period in front of 'com'.

    I am having trouble sending e-mail also. I get my e-mail just fine. This
    problem started April 1, or I didn't notice until then, I downloaded and
    installed Vista SP1 on March 30. What is my solution? Thanks

    Re: Trouble sending e-mail

    What if any antivirus programs, antispyware programs, firewall programs,
    and other security programs do you have? Some of them start causing
    more problems if you have Vista SP1 installed.

    Re: Trouble sending e-mail

    Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
    this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
    inactivity. Subject 'Testing e-mail again', Account: 'Rickurhere.net',
    Server: 'smtp.urhere.net', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error
    Number: 0x800CCC0F

    I have been removing messages after this error message comes up so my outbox
    is empty. I have also tryed turning off my antivirus program Micro Trend and
    turning off Windows Defender with no help in my situation. Thanks

    Re: Trouble sending e-mail

    Your settings look fine, and I was able to connect with that server
    (smtp.urhere.net).

    Windows Defender does not cause this problem. The most likely culprit
    is Trend Micro antivirus, even though you have it turned off. As a test,
    uninstall that antivirus, reboot, then try Windows Mail again.
    If no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

    Is there away to remove the SP1 I downloaded and installed? Everything
    worked fine before.
