Hi, When using Outlook Express to send mail I keep getting "550 Error:
Message Content rejected"
It was 5MB in size so that shouldn't be a problem.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Maybe you have a field (From field etc.) not filled in correctly (maybe
you've been trying to munge or hide your true email address)
Maybe your email looks like spam and is being rejected by a spam filter
Maybe your email has a prohibited attachment

Was it an EXE or some type of screen saver?
The FS/Wanadoo email system won't allow you to send such files 'in the
clear', you have to either 'munge' the file extension, or send as a ZIP
file.
Maybe the poster should at least learn how to do it properly if the poster
is going to crosspost to 3 groups or more
uneccesarily...GGGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
