Bruce (and others),

Today was to be day six of the outage of my OEXP6 mail sending facility. As
you surmised, however, it must have been a problem with the MSN server
because suddenly it has begun to work again, just like my episode fifteen
months ago. I did nothing except check my settings against the
correspondence you sent. Since everything was OK, I just waited
(im)patiently and it solved itself. Thanks again for your help.

The entire error would be nice, but are you using MSN? It is most likely
a
problem on their end. See this ongoing thread in this newsgroup.
