Emails not sending due to server error

more options

Hi, I am struggling to send emails on my work account, I would appreciate a fast reply and help as this is the account that I rely on to send emails as I am the manager of a project. When I try to send an email this is the error message that displays on the screen.

'Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Requested action aborted: local error in processing.

Please check the message recipient "email address that is being sent to" and try again

Please help.

Thanks

Hello there Sharon We have read your message. We try to help you.

Your system with the thunderbird software on it has got the error code 451. That means that the other cannot get your message Because the delivering service was temporary unavailable.

temporary overload of the use of this email service. brings this usage service to a temporary overload.


Also input of Smtp settings should be checked if this is possible.

the problem persists then you can contact your Smtp provider for further explanation who can turn to us again. They will come with answers that nothing is wrong.


Mostly it s by sending big bulk of emails. You where saying that you are the floor manager. Try to send it in much more less bigger proportions. With the different accounts you are probably using.

Check for anti spam filters make sure that they are not repeating the same message over and over again. Or otherwise delete the anti spam filters if you have these installed on your pc. The same technique for any other fire wall software.

Some time it appears and suddenly it could be gone. Keeping on doing it possibly the error code 451 appears again.
