All of a sudden Outlook will not allow anything to go out - even to tried and
tested addresses. I get an error message "Your message did not reach some or
all of the intended recipients" etc. etc. This happened after trying to send
mail to a group distribution list (never used before). Please help somebody
- I've been trying to understand various postings on how to fix this for the
past three hours and can't find anything that I can understand! No, not very
knowledgeable about programs but if instructions are clear, I can do it.
Many thanks in advance.

Is this your personal distribution list or one on an Exchange server? Do you
have permission to send mail to this distribution list? Does this happen with
all email or just the distribution list?

The same thing started to happen to me last weekend.

Article ID : 872896 on the microsoft knowledgebase has the following
but no suggested resolution.
Does anyone know the answer?

SYMPTOMS
When you send an e-mail message in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, the
From field in the e-mail message that is in your Sent Items folder may
not contain any e-mail addresses. Also, you may receive a non-delivery
report (NDR) message in your Inbox folder that is similar to the
following:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: test
Sent: 6/30/2004 1:48 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

' on 6/30/2004 1:48 PM
None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.
CAUSE
This issue occurs if all the following are true:· You are using
Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
· You are using either a Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3)
account or an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) account.
· The e-mail message was sent to one or more people who are not in
your domain.
· Outlook 2003 is configured to receive an NDR message for all
recipients.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft
products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Currently, there is no resolution for this issue. Because the e-mail
message was not delivered to any recipients, the fact that you have an
empty From field in an-email message that is in your Sent Items folder
would be known only by you.

APPLIES TO
· Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Service Pack 1 (SP1)
