When I try to send some emails in Outlook 2003, I get the following error message: Task 'Main-Sending' reported error(0x80070057) : 'Could not complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid.' (note: "Main" is my primary pop3/SMTP server). My ISP says it's Microsoft's problem, not something at the server, and they have no idea. I searched the MS website, but did not get any hits on the error. It only affects *some* of the emails. So far, all of the affected items seem to be ones that I am forwarding and have attachments or imbedded Internet links. However, some forwarded emails with links or attachments go through just fine. Usually, if I regenerate the message from scratch, it will go through. Has anyone experienced this problem and worked out a fix? Thanks.

I have three email addresses (all on the same ISP, though), and they all behave the same way. My ISP swears it it not a problem on their end (and judging by the number of people here who report similar behavior. I suspect my ISP may be right); however, they only support OE and webmail--so they will give me no help in seeking a solution. At this point, I'm convinced it's a bug in Outlook that is not ISP specific, so I'm trying to decide which alternate mail program to switch to. "K.

What is Outlook sending to you that produces the error?' If they can't tell you, then, well, really, they can't know it isn't their problem. I mean, really, it comes down to this question: What is the command that Outlook sends to the SMTP server that produces the error?

From: Duncan McC on 30 May 2010 09:14 It's not a MS problem - Outlook 2003 works fine in Vista, any version. I've tested it on Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. If you are getting errors on just some emails (seems one with attachments), the primary likely cause is your antivirus product. Turn it OFF for email everything - in and out (it doesn't need to be on, it's "real-time" scanning component will still trap virii). Please specify the exact error message you get, if any. If none of these help - then do what's already been suggested - turn on SMTP logging. Just to clarify, you have a POP email service? -- Duncan.
