Re: email stuck in Outbox

Hi Robert,

I read the article in that link you provided, and I've also read several previous posts from other people about emails that get stuck in their outbox. However those circumstances are not quite what I'm having.

As an example, I can still delete the message from my outbox, and also, once I delete this particular problem email address from my list of recipients, the email goes out as if nothing is wrong.

Also, I have automatic updates set up for Windows Vista, and I'm guessing I have the patch already mentioned in the article you linked to.

Thanks,
Don

Hi,

I run a Racquetball program at the Farminton MI YMCA, and I send racquetball
emails to multiple recipients at a time. I've got my recipients broken into
groups of about 75 per group.

When I send these bulk emails I often get a message back saying one or more
of the recipients did not get my message. The usual error message when an
email address is no longer valid.

However with one of my email recipients I get this type error message while
the message is still in my Outbox. And in fact, the email remains unsent at
all until I delete the problem recipient. Then the email goes out to all the
rest of the recipients just like it's supposed to.

As it happens the problem recipient uses the same ISP as I do which is
@twmi.rr.com

So I called tech support for my ISP to ask why does the email get jammed in
my outbox, and they told me there is nothing in the twmi software that would
cause this to happen. They said it is a Windows Mail problem.

My question is, do you think this is a Windows Mail problem, or is it a
twmi.rr.com problem?

Thanks,
