    The SMTP Server tells you what is wrong: the emailaddress is mulformed.
    Edit your emailaddress - and make sure you have a senders address.
    ("FROM:....")
    happy flashing

    try the most simple format - just use name@domain.com
    No <Name blabla> etc.
    Some Mailer dont allow this labeling function
    happy flashing
