wireless & comcast

ted, Was this a multi-recipient (bulk) email message. If it was you will need to reduce the # of recipients, that you are sending the same message to. And send the message multiple times, with a new list of recipients for each one.

Usually the rejected email address error, is when you reached the limit on your list of recipients for that message. Also I believe that AOL has implemented a new policy concerning messages that have multiple recipients in it. They will block them, cause they consider them spam unless you pay them a fee. The announcement for this change in their policies concerning, is over a year old, but it might be revelent to your situation.

In your acct settings in Outlook, try using Port:465, instead of Port: 25 for your Comcast acct, and check the requirement for SSL connection, on the Comcast account Advance tab. If you are using Port: 25 uncheck the requirement for SSL connection, and see if that changes anything.

At face value, that message is saying that you are using a sender email address which isn't valid. But that doesn't make sense because a Comcast messasge submission server shouldn't be validating sender email addresses for AOL. How many recipients were in your list?

No servers, except some MS Exchange servers in an NT domain environment, use SPA. It is a proprietary MSFT thingy.

Likely just usual stupid aol stuff.

A few weeks back I needed to send some business critical stuff to someone who insists on using aol.

aol kept bouncing the email claiming something like "URL doesn't resolve to actual address" . After multiple retries I sent a simple plain text email with only the word test. aol still complained about the non existent URL. Not having any time to waste I opened a Gmail account for the guy and explained how to use it.

Someone did indeed cut you off. Get a free Gmail (Google Mail) account, and use the Google Mail outgoing SMTP server.

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was ' snipped-for-privacy@aol.com'. Subject 'aaaa', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'smtp.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 [PERMFAIL] aol.com requires valid sender domain', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

Interpretation: Theft of service stopped when someone tightened up their wireless security settings.

Bragging about theft of service is not exactly the most brilliant thing you could have done. :)

If you want to use Comcast e-mail service you should get your own Comcast account.

You were getting what for free? Are you saying that you haven't been paying for Internet access? Do you have a Comcast High Speed Internet Account? Or not?

If not, then we're done. You don't have an account to send from. High speed internet service is not free.

It says you need a valid *SENDER* domain. You can send e-mail with a different FROM address than your Comcast account, but it must be a valid address at a verifiable domain.

Looks like you're trying to log into a mailbox that you can't log into to get mail. This could also go back to your e-mail account settings in your software being configured incorrectly.

it's not theft of service it's like a radio signal i can pu on my pc and it's called free WIFI today year 2007.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Wrong. Accessing mail servers to any pay ISP you are not paying for is theft of service.

i think your jel less because you can't get free WIFI in that hick town your in.
