I had that problem with an ISP at one time also. It's not the address you're trying to send "to", but the one you're trying to send through. I. e., you're trying to use an SMTP server of an ISP that is different from the one you are actually connected to. Some allow this, some don't. I guess the other people who aren't having problems are using the smtp server for the ISP that you guys are connecting to. Seems like you should just change your SMTP setting, unless there is some particular reason you want the mail to show up at the destination as having come from that other ISP's site with the user name you have at that site. The only way I was able to accomplish that was to log into the mail system at the other site via the web browser and do the send mail directly from there.
I just rechecked GoDaddy's instructions for setting up Outlook and they say to switch the output port from the default 25 to either 80 or 3535. I guess that 25 is OK with them if I'm not going to a different domain. Mail for the same domain as the sender also goes through GoDaddy, and they're hosting that domain. It would have been a little easier to figure this out if all outgoing mail was being blocked. Paul
