Sending' reported error (0x8004210B)... Error in MS Outlook 2002

[Guest]

I'm constantly receiving the following error when trying to send an email
from Microsoft Outlook 2002 version (10.3513.3501) SP-1 :

....Sending' reported error (0x8004210B): 'The operation timed out waiting
for a response from the sending (SMTP) server. If you continue to receive
this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider
(ISP).'

I haven't been able to find a solution for this like a patch or a hotfix.
Everywhere I look there is no download link for be to install.

Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm using Win2000 Professional
with IE 6.0

Is there a Microsoft Update site for Office Products??

The two most frequent causes of this are scanning outgoing mesages with an
antivirus scanner (a complete waste of time) or not properly authenticating
to the outgoing server.
