I can receive email just fine, but when I try to send I get a 500
unrecognized command Error.

Any ideas? My ISP said it was not on their end but I get the feeling it is.

If that's the exact text of the message, then I'd say the address you're
trying toi use is inaccurate, you're not properly authenticating to the
outgoing server, or you have an antivirus program integrated with Outlook and
scanning mail.
 
Brian...thanks for the ideas.

1. The email address I am sending to is good.
2. Trend Micro Virus scan...I turned off the "check outgoing email" and
tried a test.

Here is what I get now.

This is a sign that the AV's mail scanner is still interfering. Completely
uninstall your AV program and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature.
You will be just as protected and the AV program won't interfere.
 
Brian,

I'll give it a try...thanks for the help
