I have trouble sending email using MS Outlook. I use AOL
as my IP provider to access e-mail/internet. I receive
the following message: "Account mail XXXXXXX" smtp
servier,mail.XXXXXXXX" error #0x800cccOE. When I talk
with my email provider they say it's an AOL issue. When
I talk to AOL they say it's my server. Who's correct?

to make it work (sometime) I go the the command line and
do a ipconfig relase and restore. This works sometimes.

Any one have an idea ?

Thanks
 
I'm guessing that this is AOL's fault - most of the major ISPs now block
your ability to connect to any outgoing mail server that they're not in
charge of in a (IMHO, wrongheaded) attempt to limit spam. Ask AOL if they
have an SMTP server you can point your account at.
