@ChristopherW

550 5.5.0 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable

that error means the destination mailbox doesn't exist

@ChristopherW Did you send an email to 'ls-treeman@hotmail.co.uk?

~~I doubt it, which means your address has been used as the 'from' address by someone sending out (I suspect) spam mail.~~

~~As a first step, I suggest changing your email password - if this is also your PN account password, change it there first.~~

Thanks MisterW and noted. However I'm using the email address from an advertisment in the current issue of our parish magazine ! I'll try the phone number!

Thanks John. Yes it was an email address in an advertisment as mentioned in my reply to MisterW. Now I've seen your editing - thanks.

Confession time and poblem solved. I had misread the advertisment. It was not a hyphen in the email address but an undercore 🙃 !!! I sent a text to advertiser and he pointed out the mistake.
