A friend of mine is having an odd problem sending emails. I hooked her up with
a shaw addy under my account, and she has been using their web-mail to
send/receive. The odd thing is that she can send mail to people on shaws
domain, but has problems with others. She gets...
Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address Diagnostic code: smtp;550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable Remote system: dns;mx3.hotmail.com (TCP|10.0.120.133|34051|65.54.167.5|25)
---OR---
Reason: Illegal host/domain name found
Before you ask, the addresses shes sending to are valid, and typed correctly. You'll notice and mock the example I posted b/c its hotmail, but its happening when sending to other hosts/domains [ie cnrl.ca]. The only thing I can fathom is she has capital letters in her address, is it possible the server chokes on that?
Well it could. Technically it should be case insensitive but not all servers are. Of course this would be easy to check by changing the capital letters to small.
