ASP FormMail, Part V

OK. This post picks up
where the last post leaves
off:

ASP FormMail, Part IV

I've had a night to sleep
on it and I think I might
know why I'm stuck where
I am.

Last post, I was stuck
with the following error
message:

Form could not be processed 
due to the following errors:
Email send failed: The server 
rejected one or more recipient 
addresses. The server response 
was: 550  No such user here .

Here are the keywords that I
really should be paying more
attention to:

No such user here

This implies that the mail
server is set up at this
hosting company in such a
way as to require that the
email recipient be a user
at the hosting company.

In other words, the user
is an email user. This
implies that the email address
must be native to the hosting
company.

That is to say, if your domain
name is something.com
than the email should be
someone@somthing.com.

Not only that, but
someone@something.com
should not be a fake. It should
be a real email address that you
control.

This is also implicit in the
part of the error message that
says:

Email send failed: The server 
rejected one or more recipient 
addresses.

Meaning recipient addresses
must be email accounts that are
native to the hosting company.

This, clearly, is an anti-spamming
strategy.

The next step is to see if setting up an
email address that is native to the hosting
company (myself@mydomain.com) works.

OK. I'll try this next.
