When I sent out an email to many addresses at the same time, it showed error
and showed the email address that it would not send to. I deleted that one
from the list, resent, and it showed another. Eventually it came down to
my own email address that I had cc'd to. Hmpf....question, did it send to
all the ok addresses? or is it waiting for me to delete the bad ones one at
a time as it shows them to me?
(e-mail address removed)
 
Please copy-n-paste the entire error message so it can be analyzed more
thoroughly . . . . .
 
The message will not be sent to anyone if there is even one incorrectly
formatted email address. One way you can tell is that the message stays
in the Outbox rather than going into Sent Items.
 
Your ISP may have a limit on the number of recipients. To how many
addresses were you attempting to send the one (1) message?

Can you successfully send to 10 addresses? ...25 addressed?
 
Gary,

Outlook and OE allows mass emails to be sent with an incorrect email address
with a come back msg from the email server of the recipient that was rejected
but all other recipients would receive email...why can't windows mail do the
same?

It depends partly on what is "incorrect" about a given email address,
and partly on your SMTP server and the recipient's mail server.
a) If there is an obvious syntax error in the email address, WM will
refuse to send even before it talks to your SMTP mail server.
b) If something about the message or recipient does not meet
your provider's requirements, your SMTP server will tell WM that
the message is not acceptable for transmission. Different
providers have different policies as to whether they will reject the
entire message when only one recipient is bad.
c) The recipient's mail server can reject the message while WM
is still talking to your SMTP server. If so, the SMTP transaction
will fail and the SMTP server will relay the failure error to your WM.
d) Sometimes the recipient's mail server is not immediately available.
If so, you will receive an email called a on-delivery report. Providers
are shying away from this last method because it generates a lot of
bogus traffic in a world where 92% of all emails are spam, and
the spam emails have forged return addresses.
