Cancelling Outgoing 'Mail' Request

I'm using Outlook 2002 in WinXP and I have set it up to download new mail from the POP3 server that hosts my Web site. Since my ISP (Verizon) won't relay outgoing email from non-Verizon servers, I am not able to send email from my Web site's email address, only receive them

The problem is that I recently received an email that requested a read receipt. I didn't think anything of it and clicked on Yes when Outlook asked me if I wanted to reply to it. But I forgot that Verizon won't relay any outgoing mail from this address so now I keep getting an error message saying that my attempt to send an email (actually just the read receipt) is denied.

I've tried hitting the "Cancel All" button in the Outlook Send/Receive Progress box but that only cancels the request once. The same thing happens the next time Outlook does its automatic send and receive. The read receipt doesn't show up in the Outbox so there's nothing for me to delete there. I've also tried removing that account and then re-entering it but that doesn't help. At the end of the day, Outlook lists almost a hundred error messages about this particular piece of outgoing 'mail' being denied and this gets perpetually repeated the next day, and the next, . . .

Can anybody suggest a way for me to permanently cancel this sending request so that these error messages are stopped forever?
 
Do you have multiple accounts, with one that can send mail? If so, set the
outgoing server of the account that points at your Web site to point to the
server through which you can send mail. The receipt should then be
successfully sent through that server.
