I received an e-mail yesterday -- not here, on a private account -- and when I attempted to reply, I got an error message saying:

"The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please double-check the recipient's email address for errors and try again."

Then it gives a message using this number:

"550 5.1.1 <*****_******@*******.net> Account not available (in reply to RCPT TO command)"

Apparently, I am not the only one who has run into this. I did some research and found a site where someone mentioned:

============

I have a client ("John") who is having troubles receiving email from one particular person ("Fred"). When Fred emails John, or anyone at John's company, he gets this email message back:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject: (subject)
Sent: 2/19/2004 3:15 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'John' on 2/19/2004 3:15 PM
550 5.1.1 <john@domain.com>... User unknown

Everyone else in the world can mail John. I have checked and double checked the spelling, etc.

We are currently using '*****', but have been assured by their tech support that the problem is not at our end.

Any input, etc. would be appreciated.

==========

Should I try to resend the message through another one of my accounts?

The sender seemed pretty clear that she wanted a reply so I don't think she's just playing hard to get!

Yes, use another account. E-mail the person!

Thank you, dear. You're the best "some girl" I know!

ISPs arent talking to each other...try after a few hours to resend the email..

yes try another.....it has to do with filters and junk e-mails...i believe....

bummer.

keep us posted on ms not hard to get

I'm going to start signing my posts that way...



~Some Girl.

Some girl gives me money
Some girl buys me clothes
Some girl gives me jewelry
That I never thought Id own

Tried it from a completely different account, same result. I guess she doesn't want to talk to me!

Poor Lexy

Thank you....!

It just puzzles me, why someone would send an e-mail asking for information and make it impossible to respond....?

Search me, I don't know. Sounds kinda stupid though


Anyway, here are some more for you, so you won't be too sad

Thank you so much....!

I've spent eight months on this project, no way I'm quitting now. Just have to find another way in....!

i have a freind i email off site and not a member i get returnd damion on about a third of the time same address each time but it happens just the same

yahoo to embarg

The account I'm trying to send to is a Comcast account, which I have absolutely NO experience with at all -- but I've tried sending from two different accounts I have, and it comes back with the same error message either way....?

sounds like a comcast issue

but hey

what do i know

try googling comcast and see if you can get a tech email address

Any updates?

One of my friends on the site wrote to me last night and she offered a suggestion as to how we could check whether the account actually exists or not. Haven't done it yet but I think I need to find out.

Some of my research suggests that the problem could be in the spam filtering on her end. I don't really know enough about that stuff to have a clue, though.

This is a silly question... are you clicking reply and getting this message after you send, or are you generating a new message?
