For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section.

There's the problem. Your ISP's SMTP server is rejecting that email address
because it doesn't "belong" to the ISP. Try setting your outgoing server to
authenticate and it might let it pass.

On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
Double-click your email account.
Click the Servers tab.
At the bottom under Outgoing Mail server, check the box "my server requires
authentication".
