    Outlook 2007 showing 554 Message Refused error

    I'm using Outlook 2007 on my system. The problem is that i get immediate notices saying: 554 Message Refused, as soon as i try to send any mail through Outlook 2007. It appears on my message and never leaves my computer. Why does my Outlook 2007 gives immediate notices saying: 554 Message Refused? What i need to do in order to get rid of the above issue? Kindly help me out to resolve the above problem.

    The receiving mail server is refusing to accept/bouncing the e-mail from your SMTP server. The server is taking in the message and then analyzing the content of the message along with IP and domain based tests, and is then rejecting it. Usually it's because it has scanned it and decided it breaks it's rules on antivirus or content grounds.

    Are you properly authenticated to your ISP's SMTP (outgoing) mail server? If you want to avoid seeing the rror again, add them to your don't send list. Send an email to an address in you mail server. If you get the error check your mail server's problem smtp logs (do a text search on the FROM address your used and note the entry with the correct timing). Conceivably if you trace who their service provider is, you can make a complaint to them, since I believe that all domain owners have to maintain a valid e-mail address for administration.

    You may want to also check that you haven't exceeded your ISP's SMTP connection limit. As the message states, Google tried to deliver the message, but it was refused by the receiving domain. You will need to contact the adminstrators of the problem domains. If this is the problem, then you can send your spam reports in smaller batches, or switch ISPs.

    I have narrowed mine down to a link within my email
    this is an affiliate link on which I will get paid so it is important that I find out what is causing the rejection. Any ideas?
