Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it
I have started to get this error when sending emails from my Hotmail account on Outlook since this morning although there were no issues up to yesterday evening. Similar is happening with another computer also which I just setup for Outlook with Hotmail account.
Appreciate if someone can provide any help here.

I too am using Hotmail/Live and am finding this happening to me now in March 2022.
Anyone explain why this should be?
Win10, constantly updated Firefox, Mobile internet tether.

Paul_Edin If it is a new account, Microsoft puts limit on how many recipients (BCC only?) can be on an email. If you go over that amount (not stated anywhere I could find), then you'll get this error & many of the recipients (or maybe all [not sure]) will not receive the email. This is used as an antispam method, but the 1st thing often needed when getting a new account where the old account is not available is to tell all contacts the new email address :(. Longer term, they should allow more & more recipients.
Hope This Helps,
Andy

Andy-the-GI made no mention of sending to multiple recipients because I never made any emails to multiple recipients.
