Question

What does the 550 SMTP connection refused message mean when attempting to send an email to my phone?

Answer 1

550 Connection Refused

Answer 2

It could mean that something in your mail system has picked up a virus or other malware. What you send to someone is not a concern (so to speak). A message like that should only be popping up because something not right has been noted in the program itself. Or the receiver's security software has found something. or yahoo is screwed up as usual. You might want to run a virus scan, or Windows malicious software removal tool to see if that is the problem.

For the last two days I have been sending ringtones from my yahoo account to my verizon LG enV phone with no problems. Tonight I tried to send one and got the message 550 SMTP connection refused. I tried using my aol account, another yahoo account, and a gmail account and got the same message. Why...

Yahoo is still having some problems at the moment. If you look you will find lots of people cannot send/receive/delete mail at the moment. I was advised to uninstall Javascript and then reinstall the latest version from http://www.java.com/. You could also try http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer for the latest Flash player. This worked for me. If it does not for you then apparently it's only in the all new version. Try returning to the Classic version for now.
