1395003 2015-02-23 23:31:00 I consistently get the following error when trying to answer emails using Outlook 2007:


Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: xxx and xxx
Sent: 17/02/2015 9:59 a.m.

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

'xxx' on 17/02/2015 9:59 a.m.
550 5.7.1 <xxx@xxx.org.nz>... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [118.82.185.xx]


I can't find anything definitive about this. Can anybody suggest a simple (i.e. change setting somewhere) remedy? Plus tell me what it means?

Ideally I'd like to be able to make a response without having to composing a new (original) email. Thanks.

1395004 2015-02-23 23:52:00 So you get that error back when you reply to any emails?
Starting a new email and sending to the same email address works fine though?

1395005 2015-02-23 23:57:00 Go into control panel, mail , that email a/c & push the "test" button from there, does that work OK

Who are you using for smtp ,who are using for broadband (what ISP do you connect through)
there may be some options in the a/c setup in outlook that need to be changed
some ISPs email dont allow relaying by default, ie you may not be able to send if you are on anothers ISPs broadband.

1395007 2015-02-24 00:10:00 Go into control panel, mail , that email a/c & push the "test" button from there, does that work OK

Using W7 and Outlook 2007, I cojuldn't see a "test" button, however:

I've been away from home a few weeks, and using another internet WiFi connection. Could this be the problem?
