"Message delivery failed.

"Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your
SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced
settings with your system administrator.

"The sever response was: sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)

"You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use
this server until you quit or change your network settings."

OK: I get this type of error (unable to SEND mail through my web host's email - although I can through .mac account) every so many weeks. It may last for an hour - or most of the day.

Can anyone explain, eg.,
• WHICH server is responding that way: my web host? "my list of allowed rcpthosts" - who is "my". I've never had my web host set up "list of allowed"...

(also: wouldn't it be nice if the Sys error message was in TEXT (which I could *copy*) instead of having to take a screen shot of and then retype here?)
