What are your outgoing server authentication settings? Does your ISP
require that you use the incoming settings to authenticate before sending?

After searching google.groups.com and finding no answer, Stan asked:

| I'm repeatedly getting an Sending & Receiving reported
| error 0x8004210b - timed out while waiting for response
| from SMTP server". I'm using Outlook 2002 with XP
| professional.
|
| I checked the help archives, and there seems to be a
| known issue with linksys routers that cause this error,
| but (to my knowledge) I am not using a linksys router, I
| only have an efficient networks speedstream 5100 DSL
| modem.
|
| I contacted my ISP who informs me that there is no
| network issues, and I disabled my firewall and still
| received the same sending error. A reboot did not correct
| the issue.
|
| The only thing that I can think of that is different from
| when my email was working and now (with the error) are
| some XP security patches that I downloaded and installed
| (I should have noted what I installed, but I didn't - my
| mistake). Is this a known problem with a fix?
|
| Thanks.
