Cannot send e-mail error #800CCC79-HELP!

[Victoria]

Please, please, please if anyone knows why this is
happening please tell me (I'm not very computer
literate). I have Windows 2000 and use Outlook Express
6. I can receive e-mail but get the following error
message when I try to send:
The message could not be sent because on of the recipients
were rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address
was xxxxxxx; Subject xxxxxxx; Account:xxxxxx; Server:smtp.
highstream.net;Protocol SMTP, Server response: 550 not
local host, xxxxx not a gateway,port:25, Secure[SSL];No,
Server Error:550, Error Number:0x800CCC79

I'm begging anyone who has any idea of what is happening,
tell me what to do! This has been happening on and off
for 2 months now. I will turn off the computer, then log
on the next day and it will usually be "fixed" (self-
healing?) but in some cases I need to send an e-mail
immediately. And THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to anyone
who helps!!!
