The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Live Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.
The rejected e-mail address was '[email protected]'.

"Domain of recipient does not resolve" means they can't find keene.us in a dns lookup for its IP numerical address. Neither could I using tracert; but I could find the IP for "keen.us".
