Error 550 - The recipient cannot be verified

[Luckyman]

Please help. I've watched the tutorials but must still be doing something wrong here:

Problem 1. The email addresss in my welcome mail cannot receive mail, instead senders get the following message:

Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550-"The recipient cannot be verified. Please check all recipients of this
550 message to verify they are valid."

I have set up 2 other email accounts (newsletter@mysite.com and unsubscribe@mysite.com) which receive mail OK in Outlook Express but not in webmail (neither Horde nor Squirrel).

Problem 2. I would like each email to have a separate inbox. In Outlook Express the 2 new emails accounts receive mail come into the single inbox of the main account. In Horde there are separate inboxes now (but still neither receive mail) whilst in Squirrel there is just one inbox and no mail.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong please?

Many thanks,
Luckyman

1. Recreate the same account in your CP. This will override eventual rerrors.
However, this is an automatically created email address, you don't have to use it .

2. If you receive emails in Outlook express, this means that the mails also arrive in Horde and Squirell. It's simply your Outlook that deletes the mails after downloading them. You can select the Option "Leave a copy on the server" in your Outlook settings.


You can also create separate folders in OE but you will have to manually move the mails from the main Inbox to the folders. OR, create another user account in your windows and put the second account there. Not advisable, as you will have to switch between users.

OR, simply use Horde in your webmail instead of OE

Navaldesign, thanks for the lightning response! I like the idea of just using Horde but can you clarify where I find the Option "Leave a copy on the server" in my Outlook settings please?

Many thanks,

This mean that a copy of the email will be left on the server.
