This is because of the typical mail relay problem.

I assume you are using SMTP server to send mails. You need to configure SMTP to solve this problem.

Open IIS manager.

Right click SMTP Server and open properties.

Open "access tab".

Towards the bottom of the fprm, there is a relay button. Click that.

There are two options 1) Only the list below. 2)All except the list below. Select the first.

Click add. In the window, give your domain and click OK.

The steps will slightly vary from OS to OS.

the 550 error is generated when there are no users on the other end, normally. Are you sure that email is a valid email address?
