Well, first, I'd verify the program you are using. If you are using Outlook
Express, I'd go post to the microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
newsgroup (since you're using the web based newsreader, you'd go to

Now, if you're using Outlook 2003, the first thing I'd actually do is try
using a different program to send mail (like Outlook Express, Eudora, etc)
just to verify that your settings are correct. It sounds like the mail
server you are using is trying to verify that your IP address should be able
to send mail via it.

To be honest, the best solution is to contact the administrator/help desk
for the SMTP server you are trying to send via and determine if you should
be able to do it from your machine. If you're connected to ISP 1 and are
trying to send mail through ISP 2's mail server, you might be blocked from
doing that.
