Hi

My mates trying to send an email to an AOL email address but it keeps coming up with this error..

>>> RCPT To:<*********@aol.com>

Does that mean the senders email address has been blocked or the recieving email address doesn't exist anymore?

 

[Munkyman]

anybody got any ideas what it could be?

 

[MarcLister]

I think it means the address doesn't exist or isn't valid anymore.

 

[Munkyman]

I thought as much. Thanks Marc, much appreciated

It would be something like "unknown recipient" or similar if that was the case.

That error is email from the senders address or domain is being blocked buy that AOL account holder.

AOL users can choose to block emails if they want.

Try sending one from a different address.

Ah, ok. I'll have to break the news to my mate.
