Here's how to Fix Recipient Address Rejected, Access Denied error when sending email on Windows.

The "Recipient Address Rejected, Access Denied" error typically occurs when you attempt to send an email, but the server denies access to the recipient's email address. There can be several reasons for this error:

1. Incorrect or non-existent email address: Double-check the recipient's email address to ensure it is entered correctly. Even a small typographical error can cause the email to be rejected. If the address is correct, confirm that it is a valid email address and hasn't been deactivated or deleted.

2. Blocked by recipient's server: The recipient's email server may have security measures in place that block incoming emails from certain senders or domains. This can occur due to spam filtering or other security settings. Contact the recipient and ask them to check if your email address or domain is blocked on their email server.

3. IP address or domain blacklisted: If the email server you are using has been blacklisted, the recipient's server may reject emails coming from it. Email servers are often listed on blacklists due to suspicious or spam-like activity. Check the IP address or domain of your email server against public blacklists to see if it is listed. If it is, contact your email service provider to resolve the issue.

4. Sender's email server configuration issues: The email server you are using to send the email may have misconfigured settings or issues that cause the rejection. Check with your email service provider or IT department to verify that your email server is properly configured and not experiencing any problems.

5. Sender's email account restrictions: Your own email account may have restrictions that prevent you from sending emails to certain recipients or domains. Check your email account settings or contact your email service provider to confirm if there are any limitations or restrictions in place.

6. DNS configuration issues: If the DNS (Domain Name System) records for your domain are misconfigured, it can result in email delivery issues. Ensure that the MX (Mail Exchanger) records for your domain are correctly set up to direct emails to the appropriate mail server.

If the issue persists, contacting your email service provider's support team or the recipient's email administrator can provide further assistance in diagnosing and resolving the problem. They will have access to specific server logs and configurations to help identify the cause of the "Recipient Address Rejected, Access Denied" error.
