correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

When you got that error message was your Internet connection being
supplied by Vodacom? If yes:
Make sure you have send authentication enabled.
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication" must be checked.

I checked that email address and his mail server said:
"Invalid mailbox: "
It appears your recipient may have closed his account.

Are you able to send mail to other recipients?
