Trouble sending emails from Outlook.....

[R. Platt]

I've got an odd situation in that on the same computer Outlook cannot send
out emails but Outlook Express can. This is even with not only a new profile
in Outlook but even a new local user on the system. BUT - when you're
looking at the account properties in Outlook the "Test Account Settings"
button *will* send out the message.

A couple other things: This very small network has an SBS 2003 server and
two client computers. Outlook is not configured with an Exchange account on
either computer. This problem exists on both computers. I have not yet tried
telnetting to the mail servers



Any thoughts??

Any error message?
What account are you using?

Turns out it was an SMTP server problem. As luck would have it a second
outgoing server I tried to use as a test also had trouble. Third time's the
charm.

Thanks.
