    OutLook Express error interrupts automated mail sends from MS Access...

    I would like to configure OutLook Express so that it does not
    attempt to resend eMails in the Outbox folder whenever new
    sends are made From Access. The ISP's server rejects some
    eMail address immediately...

    Things like JohnDoe@aol. (an incomplete address) and sometimes
    NonExistent@Nor thState.net (if NorthState is my ISP, its mail server
    knows IMMEDIATELY that NonExistent is NOT a valid mailbox in
    their system.

    So, the mail server immediately rejects the msg & OutLook Express
    stores it in the Outbox folder. Each time Access attempts to compose
    and send a new eMail, OE tries to send the problematic one in the
    Outbox again. Of course, this results in Outlooks error msg popup...

    "Some errors occurred while processing the requested tasks. Please
    review the list of errors below for more details. The message could
    not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server.
    The rejected eMail address was 'BlahBlah@aol.' ... "

    Well, you get the idea - my automated procedures are interrupted
    until I manually go into OE, open the Outbox folder, delete the
    problematic eMail, return to OE's error pop-up msg & click OK. Then
    the processes resume.

    Can I send mail from Access with some option that restricts OE
    from attempting to also send any msg in the Outbox folder??? Or,
    will I have to configure Outlook Express so it doesn't do so?

    Suggestions appreciated.

    BTW, I'm sending the mail from within Access using...
    Function MAPISendMail Lib "MAPI.DLL"

      I'd suggest asking in an OE newsgroup.

        You may also want to choose a different option for sending emails. See the Access
        Email FAQ at my website.
