Message Not Delivered: Message content not accepted by recipient server

The message could not be delivered because it included content or attachments that needed to be converted and the conversion was not allowed.

Fixes

If the message had attachments, try sending it again without them and then try sending each attachment in a separate email. If this error occurs when there are no attachments, check the text of the message for unusual content or characters.

If this error persists, contact the email provider for help.
