I have had problems sending an e-mail, I tried twice to send it now a message comes up when I try to send another e-mail, info below--------------------------- The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]/'. Subject 'URGENT!!!!!!!!!!', Account: 'pop.orange.net', Server: 'smtp.orangehome.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 Bad address syntax', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79--- What can I do?? Betty

Try following these instructions: http://www.hostmysite.*com/support/email/not-sending/ Rose

Thanks Rose will do, can you tell me what the problem is?? Is it not a valid address or something.?? I can send e-mails. Betty

Hi Rose, Looked at the website info and followed the instructions of what to do but still have the same message coming up on the e-mail. It is the same message as on that website though. Betty p.s. have to go to bed almost falling off chair as I am so tired, will check tomorrow, thanks for your help. Betty

There's an answer on a website... http://en.allexperts*com/q/Microsoft-Outlook-1541/Microsoft-Outlook-Sending-email-1.htm Basically, the email address is probably wrong.

You can also get this message if you have added a number of cc addresses - if just one of those are wrong O.E. will reject the whole message.

Hi Betty Maybe something is wrong on the computer airwaves - I have just had a similar problem.Typed a long e-mail with attachment clicked send then after a few seconds got a like message about being unsendable because of wrong address (which I knew was not the case).My computer then seemed to be frozen - I could not click on anything without getting the beep. Being a computer idiot I panicked a bit but switched it off and then rebooted, went into sent e-mails and hey presto it had been sent.Can anyone explain?? Liz

Thanks everyone for all your messages but problem still not fixed. I can still send and receive e-mail it just this message comes up about 2 message I sent and the addresses were wrong and the Sever Error 501 0x800CCC79 pops up every time I want to send an e-mail, also yello Triange with exclemation mark in it in right hand corner of e-mail page. Any other suggesttion, please make instructions simple!! Betty

Betty, Is it all emails or just emails to a certain address? Rose

If you google Error 501 0x800CCC79 i would check out the PC World Forums someone on there has asked the same question as you and there are a couple of replies and several other sites to check out Roy

Hi again Rose, I sent an e-mail twice to the same address, this was the wrong e-mail addrees, I know that now but obviously they were not sent. Now everytime I go to send an e-mail this message pops up and I don't know how to get rid of it. The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]/'. Subject 'URGENT!!!!!!!!!!', Account: 'pop.orange.net', Server: 'smtp.orangehome.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 Bad address syntax', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]/'. Subject '', Account: 'pop.orange.net', Server: 'smtp.orangehome.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '501 Bad address syntax', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 501, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 Betty

Betty - can you look at outbox and see if an old message is 'hanging' there? ive had that happen before - if you send it to a duff addy it sort of sticks in the outbox and until you delete it it stops other mail being sent. If there is a message there, just delete it and then try to send the new message.

Woooooooow Heather, I went and looked at the out box and both messages were there, never thought of that< bangs head on computer table> now I deteted them and everything is back to the way it should be, thanks for your help. Yaaaahooooooo Betty
