Unsent messages in outbox

I have been using my Windows Mail program for a couple of months. Then today
I ended up w/ the same problem. I can receive but not send.
I have deleted my account and created a new one. I have deleted my out
going email. I don't know what else to do. A little help would be
appreciated.
Here is the error message:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
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.

The rejected e-mail address was 'Dinky6547@hotmail.com'. Subject 'test',
Account: 'Wayne', Server: 'smtp.oglecom.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server
Response: '550 not local host hotmail.com, not a gateway', Port: 25,

When you attempted to send that message, was Oglecom
providing your Internet connection at that moment, or were
you connected to the Internet in some other fashion?
Were you sending To or From that hotmail.com address?
Are you able to send to non-hotmail addresses?

Are you equally adept with TB?
If so, I'm having a problem with TB 1.5 Add-ons.
Cheers.

Switch to Windows Mail, no problems with the Add-ons here, just an
occasional stuck message <vbeg>

I'm using both

Windows Mail because
(a) I like the way it marks corssposted messages read
across the board when a message is read in just one group
(b) WM can combine and decode.

Thunderbird for all other reasons.

Hello Gary,
Let me see if I can answer all your questions.


1. I have a laptop. Oglecom is the provider that I have at my office. I
have another provider at home. When I tried to send the message yesterday, I
was on the other provider's connection.
Pause- a) It has never been an issue in the past 2 months.
b) My wife has a computer with an Oglecom address and she was able to send
an email thru her Oglecom account even though the house is on the other
internet service.
2. I had tried to send emails to 4-5 different people. They all had
different addresses. None of them worked. They all had similar messages to
the one I posted.
3. As for the message I posted, at that time I was sending it to a hotmail
account. I can not use Windows Mail for hotmail accounts they won't upload
nor download. When I want to use hotmail I have to go online to do anything
at all.
4. In the past I could send to any type of account. Now I can not send any
type of email. Now matter what the address.
