I am running Windows Vista home premium with Microsoft Outlook. We are currently on holidays cruising the Murray River in a Houseboat and consequently using a Telstra NextG satellite internet connection instead of my normal home/router wireless connection.

I am able to recieve emails on Outlook & am able to surf the web (Internet Explorer), but when I try to reply to & send emails I get an instantanious message back "550 relay not permitted"?

I am computer illiterate so went into a Telstra Shop in Berri (another major town along the Murray River in South Australia) to try & get some assistance where the staff member suggested I try Googling my problem which finally led me to this site.

Can anyone helpe please?

Thanks,
Ian.

This usually happens if you have Outlook configured to send mail using a mail server that is not your ISP's mail server (e.g. trying to send email using a yahoo.com email address). See if this helps if Telstra didn't already provide this information: http://bigpond.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/...?p_faqid=15037

Thanks again Frank, bigpond no help eeither. We are now back home so problem is rectified. Also Adam internet gave me another option through their website then only had to download everything when we got home, but at least I could respond to urgent emails via Adam members site?
Cheers,
Ian.
