Have you ever been able to use the SMTP (outgoing mail) server you've
chosen? "lee" wrote in message ... hi, im trying to set up an email account in outlook and i seem to be able to recieve emails but for some reason i get an error message saying "the smtp server responded with an error. (error number: 0x800ccc60)." when trying to send emails can anyone help ? |

... hi, im trying to set up an email account in outlook and i seem to be able to recieve emails but for some reason i get an error message saying "the smtp server responded with an error. (error number: 0x800ccc60)." when trying to send emails can anyone help ? Are you using btopenworld.com for your e-mail provider, or someone else? I tried searching their help pages but all I found was "Further information can be found in our Welcome Pack CD which you will receive prior to activation of your service." Yeah, real a-holes. Suppose you didn't have their CD anymore. Guess they want you to call them since their "help" pages are no help. Did you try to ping the SMTP server (it might respond)? That would also tell you if the IP name you use was correct; otherwise, you would see an error in the lookup to do the ping. Are you sure you specified the SMTP server for the outbound mail server and not the POP3 server? Can you manually start a session with the SMTP server by running at a DOS prompt: telnet yourSMTPserver 25 Don't bother with what commands you have to enter (use 'q' to exit). Just see if a session starts. I'm assuming you are supposed to connect using port 25. Have you tried temporarily disabling your firewall? -- __________________________________________________ Post replies to the newsgroup. Share with others.
