SMTP

[K1]

I wanna send email from my SMTP but face with this ugly code:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not
properly respond after a period of time, or established connection
failed because connected host has failed to respond 78.39.8.47:25

What does it mean?
How can i resolve this prob?

What is your SMTP setup? This can be in the page or in web.config.

If you are using something like "mail.site.com", you probably have a DNS
resolution error. You can test this with a ping from the command line. Even
if it is an IP address, I would see if you can ping it, as that is the
first step in troubleshooting connection issues.

DNS issues are a bit trickier than IP addresses, as you have a two-step
process to get to the the SMTP server.

If you are using the local SMTP service, use 127.0.0.1 to avoid the
"lookup" and then ensure the SMTP service is started.

Peace and Grace,
