Error -17099; Sending mail feature not working
Gra...@officeformac.com
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Email Client: pop
Hello. I get the following message when using the send/receive function of Entourage. All mail features were working fine earlier today. I've reviewed the other threads related to this but can't determine if the problem is on my computer/software or with comcast and the problem will fix itself.
Error -17099
Error 5.5.0 <vcxczvb> domain name required
Explanation:
Mail could not be sent
Account name: "____"

This sounds like a bad email address. Check the group. It could be a space
in the name, or it's just missing the info. If the address entry in the
group has the little blue-dressed man, then the entry is tied to the Address
Book. If it has a yellow "@" sign, then it is not. This might help track
down the bad address.

Many spammers use your address as a trick to send you email. Set up this
rule so the mail you send yourself gets through.
I like the first example. I haven't met a spammer yet that uses Entourage
for a sending client.
Junk Mail where "From is Me"

Rebuilding your database hardly ever helps with Send & Receive problems.

The error "domain name required" sounds like the address is missing the "@"
or has a space preceding the "@". Those are certainly conditions I'd look
for.

It's a good idea to start a new thread for a new problem. Although you got
the same error code as the previous user of this thread, you got a different
error message.
I would, however, check carefully all the addresses in the outgoing message,
to make sure that none were entered incorrectly.

Are you using your Comcast SMTP address when sending?

Try this. Select Group. Sorting the group. Sorting will remove any blank
entries.
A Syntax error indicates that one of the email addresses may be malformed -
maybe a space in the wrong place, or a comma instead of a period.

Do you have your schedules set?
