"Success delivery receipts not accepted"

My iCloud email account suddenly will not accept emails sent from my work account. The rejection reads "Success delivery receipts not accepted." I need to be able to communicate between accounts as my colleagues must have access to my personal email address. I cannot change the relevant email settings on my work account. Can I change something on my iCloud email account to accept these emails? Thank you.

iPad Air, iOS 8.1.2

I am having this issue today for the first time, sending email from my MS Outlook (using my verizon.net email address) to any icloud.com email address. However, the icloud.com addresses can send to me in Outlook.


Here's the message:


Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:


Recipient address: ir.....x@icloud.com

Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address

Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Success delivery receipts not accepted: ir.....x@icloud.com

Remote system: dns;mx6.mail.icloud.com (TCP|206.46.173.17|9616|17.158.8.110|25)



UPDATE: Disabling delivery receipts in Outlook allows me to send to icloud.com and that really stinks!

This means, each time I send email from Outlook to an icloud address, I have to disable Delivery Receipts in Outlook's tracking options.

Even weirder is, I am successful sending in my Outlook to icloud.com from my iPad!!!! Just not from the Windows PC.
