Very odd 'failure to send' message

[Stiggywig]

Using Thunderbird I sent a message I am (aaaaaaa) to half a dozen people that brought the response 

"Sending of the message failed.

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:  

<aaaaaaa@talktalk.net>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user 3@10111010.

 Please check the message recipient "bbbbbbb@dsl.pipex.com" and try again."

I then tried further recipients individually all frequently mailed and got the same response.

The error message makes no sense to me whatsoever - anyone seen this before?

@Stiggywig that is great, thank you for the update.

No action required - checked and service looks to be resumed to normal - Thanks

@Stiggywig please advise if you still require assistance

Ok, as you can't send via Webmail, you will either have to phone or chat, or wait for the support team to return Monday.

Steve - thanks, I tried webmail from my phone - same result, so not Thunderbird. I should have thought of that test

@fr8ys thank you for the support.
