I am using Office 2004, Mac OS X 10.3.9. I get the following error when sending an email:
Temporary local problem - please try laterDatabase Utility tells me my database is working correctly. I did a rebuild and recieved a heck of a lot of strange email. Headers in the body of the email, Emails from different people then stated in the From field, complete garbage, old old emails. I do not know if this is an issue with my server or Entourage. First, however, I would like to find out what this error -17099 is about. I get the error after restarting, and rebuilding Entourage. It is something I have never seen before.Mail cound not be sent.
Error -17099
I am able to send using my GMail account, but nothing else in Entourage.
This problem went away a couple days ago and has never come back. Really strange. The microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage newsgroup didn't seem to know either, as I have not yet gotten a reply there.

How do I resolve error 17099. Unable to send mail. What to do?
Thankyou

That is a great question. I do not know the answer. I rebuilt my database and that did not help. For me, the problem went away after a day.

Restart, rebuild the Entourage database, wait a few days.
It has nothing to do with the size of the email or the number of recipients. I have used Entourage to send mass mailings to thousands and sometimes I get the error when trying to send to 5 people.
I have yet to see this error since I wrote this post *knocks on wood*

For anyone having this issue, I found something on another site indicating that large files in your Outbox which could not be sent, could be the problem.
In my case, there were 2 that weren't particulary large, but they didn't have complete email addresses - my sloppy work.
As soon as I deleted those 2 items, the problem resolved.

I had a similar problem. To fix the problem I did no more than just correct the misspelling of e-mail addresses (LOL).
Simple enough, isn't it?

Yes what happens if you don't know which one was mispelled?

I have been getting error 17099 all of the sudden without me doing anything different to my computer!
The error reads 'sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)'
Can any one help?

I had a long day yesterday with the 17099 error code from Entourage. Never seen it before. Found this site just searching and saw John's post on Jan.27, 06. I had tried everything and NO luck.
THEN, I checked the last name added...corrected the spelling and I am in business again.
Thanks John and I anm still.... LOL
