Outlook 97: No transport providers

I have a problem in my Outlook 97. When I send an e-mail, I get an
e-mail from "Systemadministrator" that says:
The following is translated from Danish.
--------------
The message wasn't delivered to one or more of the recipients.
Subject: xxxxx
Send: date
Could not deliver to the following recipient(s)
"e-mail adresse" and "date"
There was no transport providers available to deliver to this
recipient.

What does this mean?
Well, it can mean that you're out of luck. Most ISPs these days require you
to authenticate to the SMTP server when sending messages. Outlook 97 cannot
do that and, hence, cannot be used to send mail to an SMTP server that
requires such authentication. Ask your ISP if they require authentication
to the SMTP server. If they say yes, choose another mail client that can
authenticate or ask if thet offer a non-authenticating server you can use.
If they do't have such a server. Outlook 98-2003, Outlook Express, Mozilla
Thunderbird, Netscape COmmunicator, Eudora, and others all can authenticate.
