New 550 error.

[captkirk]

I am getting a new 550 error when sending out an email that I send out every week The basic message doesn't change format but contains new text, images and links. I have started receiving the message "550 5.7.1 p27Kasbg014242 This message does not comply with required standards." for about half of my recipients in MaxBulk Mailer. If I send it again to the remainder which had errors the first time, again about half go thru. All my settings and even the recipients list is the same.

Any ideas here?

However, I am tending to think it was a problem with Earthlink's server. I was having trouble logging into my Earthlink web mail, and more significantly, I was able to send the email out using another account. Plus today, I was able to send out the message using Earthlink to about 10 test recipients with no problem.

Yes, furthermore you can see in your log that a message was accepted right before the error.
