Joomla 1.5: why does trying to send email result in: PHPMAILER_RECIPIENTS_FAILED

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to send emails from Joomla! 1.5.9, but keep getting this error message: PHPMAILER_RECIPIENTS_FAILED*recipient_name*<*recipient_email*>

A few more facts:

• It's a WAMP server (joomla 1.5.9, PHP 5.2.8)
• Validation emails are sent with no problem at all
• Joomla! is set to use SMTP
• The IIS SMTP service is used (though I'm not 100% sure about it's configuration)
• The diagnostics tool smtpdiag shows no problem when checking the sender/recipient

Any ideas?

Thanks, Omer.

Perhaps this has already been answered before @ Joomla forums itself.
