The message text following the 554 error (or in the Message Delivery Report in the bounce message) may give more information about the meaning of the error, or you may need to contact your ISP for more details.

All the SMTP Standard (RFC 2821) says about error 554 is:

554 Transaction failed (Or, in the case of a connection-opening response, "No SMTP service here")
Thanks . . . I should have included this stuff is new to me. Basic changes in the application settings I do okay with. If I may, the first issue I cannot get a handle on is, should we be able to use our old e-mail address now that we have switched from dial-up to Verizon's DSL? It seems the obvious answer must be yes since we are receiving mail. Is the ISP blind to the e-mail address both incoming and outgoing? As you can see, babysteps for me.
Thanks
Steve
