The host SMTP could not be found

[Guest]

My outlook is connected to a membership database. I can click on a person's
email address outlook will open and I can email directly. This part works
find. However, I receive an error message when I hit the send button. This
is the message that I receives. The host 'SMTP' could not be found. Please
verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: "POP3',
Server: SMTP, Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure (SSL): No, Socket. Error:
11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D.

This is not an OUTLOOK newsgroup, this is an ACCESS newsgroup.

Ok this is the last I'll say about it, but I'm serious. I posted this early today
to the request for how to link Entourage to a Yahoo account. Phil suggested
that Microsoft.Public.Access gets all these posts because it's first in the list.
If that's the case, can't we ask Microsoft to put someone else first? ...


Let's get Microsoft to create a decoy newsgroup that will take over the lead
position at the top of the list. Here are my suggestions:

microsoft.public.aardvarks.allergies

Now, this one would come before microsoft.public.access, but it probably
won't fool people who want to know where lint comes from. I'm going to
assume they are bright enough to realize that any newsgroup devoted to
allergies of aardvarks wouldn't have information about lint.

microsoft.answers.all.your.questions.here

Hey, we're getting closer. In fact, this has the potential of becoming a great
source of comedic relief. Not to mention the fact that there are people out
there who fancy themselves experts in everything that would be glad to answer
all your questions. (No offense intended, Phil. I thought your answers to my
questions were well reasoned and insightful, and I thank you for them.)

This started out as a tongue-in-cheek way to blow off steam, but you know,
I'm beginning to convince myself that this is a good idea. Who do we have to
bribe at Microsoft to get this newsgroup created?

We've been suggesting something similar to them for years, Danny.
