Hello, can anyone help with this please?

I can't send emails from Outlook Express as the smtp outgoing port

seems to be blocking all outgoing emails. I get the following message

when trying to send emails to any email address I try. I am using Outlook Express 6 and windows XP, browser is Mozilla Firefox

Impossible d'envoyer le message car l'un des

destinataires a été refusé par le serveur. L'adresse de messagerie

refusée était '********@hotmail.co.uk'. Objet 'Various', Compte :

'*********', Serveur : 'smtp.wanadoo.fr', Protocole : SMTP, Réponse du

serveur : '554 5.7.1 <hotmail>: Relay access denied', Port : 25,

Sécurisé (SSL) : Non, Erreur de serveur : 554, Numéro d'erreur :

0x800CCC79

I've googled the problem and one of the responses says I may not be

logged onto my Orange account , but that is not the case . I tried to

change the smtp port number from 25 to 2525 and I have also done all

the usual things , rebooted ( livebox and PC), disabled firewall, but

nothing seems to help. There seems to be no definitive answer to what

seems like a common problem.

The strange thing is that I can send emails with identical account settings on my laptop using Windows mail, via the same internet connection via my livebox connected via wiFi ( the problem computer is connected via an Ethernet connection).

Any help much appreciated.

Have you tried restarting Outlook?

It may be an Orange problem so try later.

Try restarting your computer.

Try deleting the account and create it again.
