I can't send messages. I have a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite, a month old,
with Vista). I haven't had a problem sending emails until this week. All of
the sudden Windows Mail just stopped letting me send emails. I have
bellsouth and the incoming and outgoing properties are correct, i
believe(mail.bellsouth.net). I did a system restore two days ago and it
fixed my problem. Lo and behold I wake up this morning and it will not work
again. Here is the message I recieve. It doesn't matter what email I send
it to. Please, Please Help!!!

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 '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject 'test',
Account: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Server: 'mail.bellsouth.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Server Response: '550 relaying mail to aquinas-sta.org is not allowed', Port:

I also have just begun having problems sending mail. I have been using
WINDOWS MAIL since purchasing my laptop w/Vista package back in Feb. Issue
has just begun today. I have confirmed that my email and comcast acct
settings are still correct.
 
If using Vista and McAfee see my reply to thread above this started by Lori
message above this "Windows Mail". It may help.

Check under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Servers and make sure you
check the box that indicates your outgoing server requires authentication.

I really appreciate all the problems everyone had with sending mail, so I had
a lot of suggestion on how to fix my problem.

I did not disable my McAfee Security Center. I tried it, but it did not work.
I ended up using Windows Help and Support and typed "why can't I send mail"

I clicked on Trouble Shooting Problems with Windows Mail and followed all
the directions and my problem was fixed. Under Settings and Log On using I
re-entered my e-mail address, eventhought there is a box that says "same as"

I re-abled my McAfree and tested it again, and it works now. I was in the
process of deleting my e-mail account shuting down and rebooting when I tried
this, and it worked. Good Luck!
