Non-delivery report after sending e-mail in Outlook 2000?

Microsoft Outlook is a classic e-mail client which offers its users a slew of user-friendly features. Its major strength lies in the vital Personal Folders (PST) file which stores all its major components including e-mails, calendar, contacts, distribution lists, journals etc. Despite being a highly-acclaimed e-mail client, it can create several problems when the PST file gets corrupt. PST corruption is a grave situation because it not only restricts you from sending/receiving mails but leads to complete data inaccessibility. Such situations can prove detrimental to your work and may even result in financial loses. To counter corruption problems, it is best that you switch to a healthy backup of the damaged PST file. However, if you do not have a reliable backup to use, then you should consider using effective PST repair measures.

Consider a scenario, wherein, you have Outlook 2000 installed on your computer. You open it and draft an urgent e-mail to your boss and colleagues regarding the status of work on the new project. Surprisingly, the message doesn't get delivered, and you receive the following error message from the system administrator:

"No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient."

The above error message is commonly recognized as an NDR, Non-Delivery Report.

Cause

The reasons behind the above error message could be varied. Here is a list of the possible causes:

· If the mail server doesn't identify or recognize your e-mail address
