If you have received an error like the one below, there is a simple fix.
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject:
Sent: 8/11/2011 1:29 PM
The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:
“someguy@somedomain.com’ on 8/11/2011 1:29 PM
None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.
After adding the recipient name in the TO field of an email address, simply double click on that address and change the EMAIL TYPE to SMTP:
I found that the cached address had a strange email type in it so after proving this was the problem, I simple deleted the offending cached address:
- start to type the recipients address and after being able to see the offending address
- use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate to the offending address
- press the delete key on your keyboard.
I hope this helps!




Most solutions assume that you are using MS Exchange Server. I use a stand-alone PC running Win 7 (32) and Outlook 2010. I pass e-mails from my accounting system (TASBooks Ver 2) to Outlook and get about 50% bounces on the first attempt. When I resend, they are successful. Any ideas?
I am sorry, I don’t know TASBooks. Did you try the suggestion in this post about changing the TYPE?
Thanks for the fix – works like a dream.
Anyone happen to know how these addresses are getting corrupted. It has recently started with 2 users at one of my clients – but only some email addresses and only some of the time. Hosted Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010.
thanks
I have not found any pattern to this problem.
