Hi, I hope somebody can help me. We have had our ISP email setup through Windows Mail for several months and it has been working fine until a few weeks ago. Now, we can receive emails just fine and our internet connection works, but I get an error when I try to send an email. This is the error:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
The rejected e-mail address was 'xxxxx@hotmail.com'. Subject 'test', Account: 'mail.aapt.net.au', Server: 'mail.aapt.net.au', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554 5.7.1 <C-59-100-28-214.for.connect.net.au[59.100.28.214]>: Client host rejected: (SPM:RAD) User account blocked from sending email due to policy violation - Please contact support', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
I have spoken to the ISP and all of our settings seem to be correct, and I can send and receive email through our webmail, but just not from Windows Mail. I have done a full system virus scan which came up with nothing, and we also tried disabling the anti-virus and I still couldn't send email from Windows Mail.
I don't know what else to try, I'm definitely not a high-tech person. My ISP suggested that I contact Microsoft, and that I may or may not get charged for this. I don't recall changing any settings or installing anything new at the time when we started having this problem.
Any help that anyone can give me would be much appreciated.
