Outlook 2007: "the Operation Failed" on Send to Multiple addresses

[K@discussions.microsoft.com Dave K]

Folks, i would apprecaite your help with the following problem.

I get the Error Message " The Operation Failed" regularly when I try to
respond to or send an email to multiple addressees. Sometimes it can be
solved by removing addressees one by one until the email goes. But this
approach is time consuming. i am using Outlook via the web to access my
corporate email.

Any help or pointers towards a solution to this irrating problem would be
gratefully received.

How many addresses? Did you ask your admin what the max number of addresses
allowed is?

Diane,
In this case just 9 addresees, a mixture of external and internal corporate
addressees. There is no limit on the No. of addressees, and I have used many
more in the past 20+

many thansk for your in terest in my problem :-)

I would love to know if there's been any resolution to this. We've been
having the same problem with just 1 user who has a new computer and the
same setup (i.e., programs) as all the other users. Its been very tough
to combat. I've reinstalled Office, created a new non-cached Outlook
profile, disabled all add-ins and stopped using Word as email editor and
still this problem persists!

Any further ideas?

Do you have a virus scanner installed which integrates itself with Outlook?
Uninstall this integration part of your virus scanner and try again; you'd
still be sufficiently protected by your on-access scanner part of the virus
scanner. For more details see;
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20

If that doesn't help, include some configuration information of your own and
exact steps to reproduce the error. As you did not quote the original issue
and replied to a very old thread in a mirrored forum, the original
discussion is not visible in the original newsgroup.

Thank you for the reply. I do not have an integrated virus scanner with
Outlook. We are using Trend Micro Client/Security Agent ver 15.1.1142
with Worry Free Business and it appears to be file-based only on the
client.

We are running Exchange 2003 on a small business server with SP2.
Client is Outlook 2007. The error it generates when the user hits the
Send button on an email, usually a "Reply All", just states "The
operation failed". She then goes through and removes the internal
individuals one by one until the Send command eventually goes through.
The application log on the client says Event ID 27 with "The operation
failed" in the description with nothing more. The error is immediate
upon hitting the Send button.

Thanks for any additional ideas.
