Errors when sending messages

No Sender Specified

This indicates missing or corrupt information in the user information for a particular account. Click Tools| Accounts| Properties and delete then re-type the user name and email address, even if they appear correct. If the problem persists, remove the account, close and re-open OE, then create the account again.


Invalid Message Rules errors (older versions of OE5)

MSIMN caused an Invalid Page Fault in module unknown

MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module MSOE.DLL at memory address

MSIMN caused an Invalid Page Fault in module kernel32.dll

These errors can occur if a message rule uses invalid logic. If the Criteria of the rule specifies a condition that can only be determined after the message body is downloaded, but the Action of the rule is "do not download" or "delete from server", the logical contradiction causes OE to crash. Conditions that require the message body to be downloaded are:

Where the message body contains specific words
Where the message is secure
Where the message has an attachment

If you include these conditions in a rule, you must not select either "do not download" or "delete from server".



550 - Relaying not allowed

This error message is coming from the mail server, not from OE itself. It means that the SMTP (outgoing) mail server did not recognize you as an authorized user and so rejected your message. Most ISPs configure their SMTP servers to recognize only those whose IP address is on the accepted list, meaning that you are connected directly to that ISP. If you use multiple ISPs, you are likely to encounter this problem. The solution is to change the SMTP server for that mail account under Tools| Accounts| Properties| Servers.

Another possible reason for this error is anti-virus software that configures OE to use a local proxy for the SMTP server. Since scanning e-mail is not necessary to protect your computer, you should disable the e-mail scan in your anti-virus product, and then re-enter the correct name for your SMTP server.
