Sending erroor 0x80042109

[Jess Wonderin]

Sending erroor 0x80042109 is driving me CRAZY!! Being a good Microsoftee I
did the recommended recent upgrades to my XP Home and now GERRRRR! It seems
that FREQUENTLY on Send I get this error - sometimes the "08" variation - but
sometimes after several tries (minutes) it sends some or all. (I get
frustrated and delete the message and use my backup Hotnail . . .) NOTHING
has changed, same account, same server, same settings, same viris software -
any ideas ?? MS help was worthless . . .

It might be the same to you, but we are clueless on what you are using in
terms of version of Outlook and type of mail account; you didn't tell us.
Also, what is the full error returned to you?

My guess; disable your virus scanner's integration with Outlook and try
again;
See http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20

Roady -
If this helps - Outlook 2003 (11.8169.8172) with SP3, using Incomming POP3
port 110 and Outgoing SMTP port 23 on Concast HS Cable - has worked without
problems - just sent 3 messages, error as follows continued appearing - I
went on to other tasks on line and the messages did finely "go" - I assume
they were sent.
Error:

Task 'mail.rimcorp.com - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is
unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to
receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service
provider (ISP).'

Do not have scan set to NOT scann outgoing. Using Avast

thanks

Port 23 is not a valid port for SMTP traffic. The default port is 25. Port
23 is for Telnet.
Comcast is also known to support port 587.

Hi, did you ever get this resolved? Seems I am having the same problem. I use
Outlook 03 and a pop server as I work from home. I have vista. It has worked
fine for a year and half and after some updates suddently it won't send! I
have the same error you spoke of. I am at a loss and don't know what to do, I
am like you...GRRRRRRR! If you or anyone can advise me, I would GREATLY
appreciate it, it is making working from home a pain.

For as little information as has been provided, all that I can offer is
