SMTP Timeout

[Picine Karppehd]

I just switched from Eudora to Outlook 2002 and it works
OK except for one thing. Emails with attachments over
400K bring up an error dialog that has the following
message: "Task 'mail.buenosw.com - 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 am skeptical that it is an ISP problem as Eudora had no
problem sending this type of email over the same ISP.

Even though Outlook throws the error message, it keeps
sending the email over and over. One recipient received
five copies of the same message.

What can I do to fix this problem?

I'd first try lengthening the server timeout period.
