Default POP3 problem

Outlook 2003 clients in front of SBS2003 server. Mail and domain hosted by
ISP. I have 6 clients working fine, one will not. When you test the account
an error occurs saying in cannot connect to the smtp server. This happens
instantly so I get the impression the local Outlook installation is blocking
it somehow. Another interesting aspect is that the account can receive via
Outlook, just not send. The user name and password work on the ISP's WEB
based mail service. Is there a setting I am missing? Has anyone else run
into and solved this behavior?

TIA

Default POP3 problem

I do have the SMTP Server verification informaiton in the setup. My question
is why do I have 7 supposedly identical setups, all software and
configuration done by SBS2003, and 6 work and one does not? Is there some
registry entry that could be wrong, or and Exchange setting not set?

TIA

Can you connect to the SMTP server from this workstation via telnet?
