Subject: Frustrating error 553

I gather that error: 553 covers many sins so it is not in itself diagnostic.

The actual error message is JUST too short for me to figure out what the $*#$%@
it means:

"[ Mail not sent. Sending error 553: Due to a small error in your Email s]"

It may be "small" but its terminal!  HELP

553 errors are often custom errors Admin's put into thier mail servers.
If you call your ISP for technical support and ask what could trigger that
error you may have a better place to look.

Try setting the feature "enable-verbose-smtp-posting" and when after you
type ^X to send but before you say Yes, type ^W for Verbose output.

Heh. "Verbose" (^W) breaks sending with my SMTP agent.
