I'm having problems with my outlook express. i am receiving emails but all emails that I try to send just sit in my outbox??
Then an error message comes up saying "An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'Emailing: www.20q', Account: 'pop.freeserve.com', Server: 'smtp.freeserve.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 Error: Message content rejected', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC69"
Can anyone help me with this?
thanks
Sarah

Looks like Wanadoo/Freeserve.
The error indicates that the server is blocking because of something in the email.
Try sending yourself a simple test message. You might have to move the unsent emails from Outbox to Drafts before the new message can be sent.0 -

Edit - just moved the items from outbox and it's working now! Thanks guys!Expect less and get more...0 -
