Re: REPLY to sender email gets rejected

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I finally found the mailing address of this person so I am hoping that their
address is still good and they can tell me just why I can not get an email
through to their email address. If I find an answer I will let you know. I
have tried so many other ways to contact them and nothing helped.

I have tried to get an answer to this problem: I replied to an email from an
old friend. I replied using the REPLY button so it want back to the email
address that it was sent from BUT I keep getting the following:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtpserv.absamail.co.za.:
RCPT To:<..................@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<<< 550 #5.1.0 Address rejected ...............@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
550 5.1.1 <...............@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... User unknown
I would like to know how why keeps happening as this is the only way I can
get in touch with this person. Is there anything I can do about it?

Just because you received mail that seems to come from that address doesn't
mean that the address is correct. Your friend should have mistyped the
address when defining the account. Also check the headers of the message.
Your friend may have specified a Reply-To address that is incorrect even if
the sending address is correct. Check the headers to see if there is a
reply-to and if it agrees with the sender if so. If it doesn't match, try
sending mail to the sender address reather than using Reply.
