Problem sending email (is AOL to blame?)

We have recently moved house and while I was waiting for my new broadband connection to kick in, I loaded a free AOL trial that gave me free dial-up access while I waited. Ever since, I have been unable to send email, either through AOL when I used that or through my broadband ISP's SMTP server. I simply get a message that says:

553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (hash5.7.1)

I wondered if AOL has perhaps changed something, maybe at sysyem level, that causes my Mac to send email via a proxy or something? I get this problem with Mail and I have tried Eudora and encountered the same issue. I am running a G3 iMac with 10.3.9. All my mail setting are correct.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone?

A further complication is that I have foiund that if I try to send email using my palm connected via bluetooth to my Mac connection (using The Missing Sync), I get the same error on my palm. This suggests that it is not something to do with my email setup, but something at the system level?

Thanks,

Matthew.
 
Problem solved. I downloaded Thunderbird and tried to sent an email. It worked! Then, I went back into Mail and it worked as well. Bizarre. I suspect that AOL has done something that Thunderbird has reversed.

Weird.
