RFC2822 error when sending email from Outlook 2007

[TomT]

When forwarding an email, I get the following error message. These email
addresses are ones that I used many times before in Outlook 2003. The
forwarded email is nothing special and just contains some HTML with color
test and a URL. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Tom

Well, there are a number of things that could be considered a violation of
this standard, like a line that's longer than 998 characters. WIthout
seeing the actual raw message data, it's impossible to say. Since this is a
message from your server describing a problem it has while talking to the
recipients' servers, Outlook isn't technically involved. That's not to say
you can't use Outlook to fix the problem, but you yourself are in the best
position to figure out what the problem is. Read the RFC (here, for
instance: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html) and then examine as best
you can the raw message data to see if somethign sticks out as being a
problem. Chances are good that there's something in the headers that the
servers didn't like.

I'll take a look at the spec and see if I can tell what is going on.
However, the message is coming back from Outlook, not my ISP's server, so
there is something that Outlook itself does not like.

Thanks!

The message is coming back THROUGH Outlook, but it is definitely coming from
the SMTP server you have Outlook talking to. 550 is a server error code.
