I have two email accounts with my ISP. I can receive mail on both

The error message is: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail

Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail

Many mail servers do this as a way of blocking spam.
Here's a workaround:
1) Create a second SMTP server with all the same settings but the other
username.
2) Set the second mail account to use the "other" SMTP server.
Detailed instructions:
1) Create a second SMTP server:
a) From a mail window, do Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings...
and scroll to the bottom of the list, where you'll see "Outgoing Server
(SMTP)." Click once to expand it.
b) Choose the existing SMTP server and click "Edit." Note down all the
settings (without changing any), or if you find it more convenient, take
a screenshot and print it out. Click "Cancel" to exit without saving
changes.
c) In the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" dialog, click "Add" and create a new
SMTP server with all the same settings except the username at bottom.
Make sure to give it a different name ("Description" at the top) so you
and SM can tell them apart. Save.
2) Set the second mail account to use the "other" SMTP server.
From a mail window, do Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings...,
and click the name of the second mail account." Near the bottom of the
dialog, click "Outgoing Server (SMTP):". From the pull-down list, choose
the new server you just created, and click "OK" to save.
That should do it. You may be prompted for a new password the first time
SM uses it, but probably not.
