Linux Mint only has problem with sending emails out

Quote An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <*******@*******.plus.com> sender rejected - invalid domain (no MX or A record). Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
The email and all the other details have been left the same, the only difference is, is the password change. I deleted the old password from the saved passwords, but I cannot get it to resolve the problem of sending the emails. Its quite frustrating as it should be a simple task, but obviously not to my stupid morphined brain. Can any one assist please.
I love using Linux as its a safer OS than WIndows. I do have a dual boot, which gives me the best of both worlds
Thank you for reading just hope you can assist
Thanks

That's a fairly explicit error message and it doesn't imply it has anything to do with the password. Instead it suggests that either the sender or recipient address of the email you're trying to send cannot be resolved in DNS. e.g. try sending /from/ an invalid email address and you get this:
$ telnet relay.plus.net 25
Trying 212.159.9.107...
Connected to relay.plus.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 avasout03 smtp relay.plus.net
ehlo relay
250-avasout03 hello [84.93.219.165], pleased to meet you
250-HELP
250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN
250-SIZE 104857600
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250 OK
mail from:<this@isnotvalid.tld>
550 <this@isnotvalid.tld> sender rejected - invalid domain (no MX or A record)

Quote from: TonyPhotoplus The other accounts are working fine with the same settings.
Presumably not /exactly/ the same settings? I'm guessing the email addresses for each of the accounts will differ?
As per my previous post, have you checked that the email address is entered correctly for the account you're having problems with? i.e. that you're not trying to send messages from an invalid or misspelt address.

I really must read posts more thoroughly
