Take my word for it, there are a few things I have expertise in,
and mail servers is one of them.
During a so-called SMTP transaction, your mail program has a
conversation with the SMTP mail server. Some of that conversation
is originated by the 'client' (your mail program), and some of it
represents responses from the server. The statement
Server Response: 550 From: address is not valid
is a response your email program received from the mail server.
So, I say again, EarthLink's server is rejecting your upload attempt.

The message was from MS live mail and that IT was restricting my mail Anyway
I am waiting for a response from MS. When I get it I will let you know.
Thanks. Elrod.

The pass word is correct. I get the same message if I send a single email to
just myself. I agree another program may be interfering. It all started when
I downloaded a microsoft upgrade but I can't undo it or even identify which
one. Live mail beta has a suppport site. I have contacted them. I'll let you
know what they have to say. When I typed in my problem and error there was
suggestion that Vista may have seen my activities as illegal and blocked my
out going mail! Big Brother!???? That could be scary. I'll let you know what
I find out. Thanks. Elrod.

considering a MAC. Can I get help here? Is there a number I can call? By
the
way I even get this message when I try to send a message to my self.
Thanks.
