dotnet academic: I'm having problems sending an email via system.web.mail.smtpmail to an email address like 'xxxx@hotmail.com' The email works if i mail it to an email address within the domain. I get an error, 'The server rejected one or more recipient addresses. The server response was: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for stevetriano@hotmail.com

I'm using .Net 2003 VB, no attachment

Sounds like a policy rule to me. We had a similar problem in stopping people smtp'ing emails outside an organisation, and so we had to limit the domains that were allowed to resolve to

If you check the SMTP Server settings you may see the problem there

Hi

The reason for this issue is that the account you are using to send mail using SMTP is not able to send mail outside the resident domain. There is a configuration for the account that you are using where you can specify whether the account will be able to send mail to any domain or will be restricted to the resident domain only
Try the above and see if that helps
