Using Outlook (not Express) 2003 on a home network (2 machines) with XP Pro. The machine in question is the principal machine on the network.
My ISP is optonline and my connection is by cable modem. I have always had all of my email accounts configured to use the correct SMTP server (mail.optonline.net) for outgoing mail.
I have twice verified with my ISP that they do NOT (for now) block relaying and that they do not require authentication for outgoing mail.
The problem is that randomly(of course!)when I click "Reply" and compose and send emails to any of a wide range of addresses (it's definitely not just one domain that causes the problem), I immediately receive the following (apparently) locally generated error message:

'Marber@aol.com' on 05/05/04 15:07
550 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed: Marber@aol.com
--------------------------------------------
I inquired of my ISP, of Zone Alarm, and of Norton Anti-virus, and their tech support reps say that this error message is not generated by their program.
I've tried to research this on the web, even on this site, and can only find explanations that presuppose the use of an SMTP server to which one is not connected. Again, this is not my problem.
I just cannot see any one feature of those email messages that bounce back that would be the clue as to why they do so.
One more thing, when the error message arrives, all I have to do is go into "Sent Mail," open the offending message, click "Resend this message" and without making any changes to it at all, it is always sent successfully???
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
